Nicholas DiFilippo received his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering all from the University of Rhode Island.

He joined the engineering faculty at Johnson & Wales University in the Fall of 2019 where he teaches courses in general engineering, mechanics, and robotics.

Prior to joining Johnson & Wales University, he worked as a postdoctoral associate at Boston University and as an engineer at different companies in Rhode Island. He also served as adjunct faculty at the University of Rhode Island, Roger Williams University, and CCRI teaching various courses in engineering.
