Short bio

My research focuses on Human-Computer Interaction for societal engagement. I am interested in how technologies can support or hinder democratic forms of participation. I hold a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Trento (IT). Before joining Unibz, I worked at Human-Centred Computing Section of the University of Copenhagen (2017-2020; postdoc). Previously I had worked at Delft University of Technology and the Technical University of Eindhoven. I am Associated Chair in top international conferences such as ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI) and Participatory Design Conference (PDC).
