Carlomagno Panlilio is an assistant professor of education with an appointment in the Department of Educational Psychology, Counseling, and Special Education in the Penn State College of Education. He also is a faculty member with the Child Maltreatment Solutions Network in the Social Science Research Institute, a faculty affiliate with the Population Research Institute, and a faculty affiliate with the Child Study Center. Panlilio received his doctorate in human development from the University of Maryland, College Park, with a specialization in developmental science and a certificate in Education Measurement, Statistics and Evaluation.

Panlilio’s work is focused on explicating proximal development and learning processes, such as self-regulation and self-regulated learning, which mediate early experiences of adversity such as maltreatment and later educational outcomes. Specifically, his program of research, guided by a conceptual framework that brings together an interdisciplinary perspective drawn from child welfare, developmental science and educational psychology, focuses on building the empirical evidence for this model via three main strands of research. These include understanding basic learning and developmental processes surrounding early experiences of adversity, self-regulation and education outcomes; understanding and improving educational support for students with a history of adversity within a trauma-informed framework; and improving statistical, measurement and evaluation methodologies to better capture the complexities inherent in development, learning and prevention efforts related to adversity and trauma. This research-to-practice translational cycle has been informed by Panlilio’s experiences, currently as a researcher, and previously as a clinical practitioner working closely with child welfare systems and schools.

Prior to his faculty appointment, Panlilio practiced as a licensed clinical marriage and family therapist. He has worked in private practice, community agencies, treatment foster care and a residential treatment facility for adolescents. He has been in clinical practice since 2005 and often worked with at-risk children and families.
