Short Bio
I hold a Bachelor Degree and a Master Degree (cum laude) in Computer Science from the University of Bologna. In May 2016, I obtained the PhD Degree at the University of Bologna with the thesis titled “Participatory Sensing and Crowdsourcing in Urban Environment”.
Since July 2018, I am Assistant Professor, Departments of Computer Science and Engineering (DISI) of the University of Bologna (Italy). Since 2016, I am also a faculty fellow at the Interactive Technologies Institute (ITI/LARSyS), Portugal, where I am a faculty member of the “Sense and Tell” group, aimed at bringing together the opportunities of new sensing technologies with the role of narratives, storytelling and play as ways to learn about ecosystems, how to organize information, how to make sense of it all.
I worked as post-doc researcher at ARDITI in the H2020 CiViTAS DESTINATIONS project (from 2016 to 2018).
I’ve been involved in different national and international projects, related to various topics, as e-learning, accessibility, inclusion, personalized urban mobility, gamification/gameful experiences, user’s experience and HCI. My current research interests are mostly related to HCI and urban data science, and, in particular on how to explore pervasive sensing systems, social sensing and crowdsourcing/crowdsensing to gather data about the environment and how to visualize this data for informing communities about relevant topics, such as sustainability, accessibility, and inclusion.
I was a visiting researcher at M-ITI (Madeira Interactive Technologies Institute) in 2014 and at the KMi (Knowledge Media Institute), Milton Keynes, UK, in 2015.
