Zachary del Rosario

Assistant Professor of Engineering, Olin College of Engineering
In his research, Zach helps scientists and engineers make decisions under uncertainty. In his PhD work he discovered long-standing probability errors in aircraft design that expose travelers to risk, and developed alternative design criteria with mathematically-provable safety guarantees. Zach also consults with scientists from other disciplines: He has worked with material scientists to use machine learning for accelerated materials R&D.

Presently, Zach is developing a Grammar of Model Analysis to support the teaching and communication of model analysis under uncertainty.

In his teaching, Zach strives to cultivate an inclusive and supportive class environment. He works to help all students become self-directed learners, emphasizes communication alongside analysis, and encourages students to embrace uncertainty. Zach's classes tend to emphasize student-directed work and open discussion.

Zachary Witkower

Assistant Professor, University of Amsterdam
I investigate fundamental questions about the emergence and utility of nonverbal behavior for the communication of emotion, personality, and social rank. I rely on a variety of methods, including structured group interactions, human-robot interactions, experiments, and longitudinal designs, while leveraging different measurement and analytical techniques including automated and manual nonverbal behavioral coding, peer-reports, machine learning, and psychophysiology. To examine the generalizability of my research findings, I explore these questions around the globe and across ages, including in non-western and small-scale traditional societies, and children as young as two.
