Robert Lanzafame, licensed Civil Engineer with a PhD from UC Berkeley, specializes in geotechnical engineering, probabilistic design, and engineering geology. With a focus on the impact of vegetation on dike seepage and stability, his research used advanced probabilistic design methods. As a Senior Lecturer, he actively contributes to education, teaching courses from fundamental engineering methods to applied levee design. Leading a faculty project, he integrates computational thinking into education, using open-source tools like Jupyter Books.
Robert Lanzafame, a Civil Engineer with a PhD from UC Berkeley, has a background in geotechnical engineering, probabilistic design, and engineering geology. As a Senior Lecturer, he actively contributes to education, teaching courses from fundamental engineering methods to applied levee design. His current passion is integrating computational thinking into education, using open-source tools like Jupyter Books, and making it easier for colleagues to do the same.
Since Spring 2023, Robert manages the Modelling, Uncertainty, and Data for Engineers (MUDE) module, crucial for first-year MSc students in the Civil Engineering and Geosciences faculty. Additionally, he teaches applied structural reliability for students in the Hydraulic and Offshore Structures track. His wealth of experience in private sector geotechnical consulting, coupled with a passion for reshaping engineering education, positions Robert Lanzafame at the forefront of innovation in the field. Reach out if you share his enthusiasm for the intersection of technology and education! At the symposium he will present his open interactive book titled
