Mario Belloni
Mario Belloni received his Bachelor of Arts degree in physics and economics from the University of California at Berkeley and his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Connecticut. After spending a year as visiting assistant professor at Eckerd College, he began teaching at Davidson College, where he remains to this day.
At Davidson, Mario has established a successful research program involving undergraduates in the area of theoretical and computational quantum mechanics. Mario also collaborates on theoretical research projects with faculty at Pennsylvania State University.
In collaboration with Wolfgang Christian, Mario has established an extremely successful program in physics education research and development using Java applets known as Physlets. As a result of this effort, Mario has become an award-winning, nationally and internationally recognized authority in the authoring, design, and effective use of interactive curricular materials.
This group has authored more than 1000 Physlet-based exercises from introductory physics...
