Dr. Caserta is an Assistant Professor
in the Mechanical Engineering program at Wentworth Institute of
Technology. He received his M.A. and Ph.D. in Physics from Boston University. His doctoral thesis was entitled
“Statistical Analysis of Neuronal Shape.” He received his S.B. in
Mechanical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology. Dr. Caserta’s main area of interest
and specialization is thermal physics and engineering
thermodynamics. Dr. Caserta has taught physics with calculus,
thermodynamics, heat transfer, and materials science for DPCS
After gaining his Ph.D., Dr. Caserta
worked as a Post-doctoral Fellow at Boston University
Medical School from 1991 to 1999. He used nuclear magnetic
resonance and fluorescent imaging techniques to analyze fat and the
transport of fat into fat cells. In 1992
he was a
biophysical software consultant at Johns Hopkins
University. He recommended changes to confocal
microscope software for chromosomal analysis.
After completing his S.B. degree he was a
Scientific Programmer and Mechanical Engineer at Digital
Equipment Corporation. He programmed mechanical CAD/CAM systems for
use by mechanical engineers in designing hard disk memories for high
positioner accuracy and high storage density and made
recommendations about the mechanical strength and reliability of
keyboard mechanisms, tape drive belts, and disk drive components and
assemblies.
While an undergraduate student at
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dr. Caserta was appointed
as a Teaching Fellow for an introductory FORTRAN computer
programming course. He taught discussions and labs as a Teaching
Fellow.
Dr. Caserta is an author of nine
published, scholarly articles and two published abstracts. He is a
Registered Professional Engineer in the state of New
Hampshire. |
