Dr. Rosario received his BA in Integrative Biology from the University of California Berkeley, his MS in Organismic and Evolutionary Biology from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and a PhD in Biology at Duke University. He earned several awards throughout his academic career including a fellowship from the Northeast Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate, the Department of Energy Computational Science Graduate Fellowship, and the National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology. Dr. Rosario's research interest began with understanding the mechanisms of energy storage in biological structures. After postdoctoral training at Brown University, he has incorporated muscle-spring interactions into his research interests. Dr. Rosario has experience in teaching comparative vertebrate anatomy, scientific computing at both the graduate (SOURCE workshop) and undergraduate (biomechanical programming labs) levels, and Human Anatomy and Physiology. In 2025, he was awarded with the Lindback Distinguished Teaching award for his work with AI-generated podcasts in large lecture classes.
