Mario Ricci

Professor Mario Ricci serves as Deputy Dean (Learning and Teaching) in the Medical Sciences division at the University of Adelaide. His professional focus spans medical education innovation, teaching methodologies, and reproductive biology research. He has contributed extensively to curriculum design in health sciences and undergraduate research skill development.

Research interests include flipped learning approaches, MOOC design, and group work equity in education. His biological studies explore sperm physiology mechanisms, particularly heat stress effects on germ cells and comparative reproductive biology across species like marsupials.

Key publications highlight work on flipped classroom models (2018), MOOC co-creation frameworks (2016), and seminal studies on sperm membrane biology under thermal stress (2010-2009). Over 15 years of research demonstrate sustained contributions to both educational pedagogy and reproductive science.

Advising record includes 14 listed students across health sciences and biological disciplines. No specific grants or awards are explicitly noted in available records.
