Dr. Andreas Karatsolis is a Senior Lecturer and the permanent Director of Writing, Rhetoric, and

Professional Communication (WRAP) at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), a

program which supports the communication needs of all graduate and undergraduate MIT

students. His disciplinary training includes a Ph.D. in Rhetoric and Communication with an

emphasis on technical/professional practices in science-related fields, which is at the core of his

teaching and research efforts. In his administrative role at MIT for the past twelve years, he has

designed curricula and tools that integrate disciplinary knowledge with life-long habits of

learning and reasoning, an effort which led to WRAP being recognized as a Program of

Excellence in 2022 by the National Council of Teachers of English. As a researcher, Dr. Karatsolis

has also been the lead or co-principal investigator in multiple funded projects related to the

design, implementation, and assessment of learning frameworks and tools, especially in the

domains of language learning, professional communication, and data visualization and

storytelling. He is currently affiliated with the MIT Sports Lab and is also the manager of the

UNESCO Chair on Translating Cultures Lab.
