The Institute of Research on Population and Social Policies (IRPPS)is an Interdisciplinary Research Institute of the National Research Council of Italy (CNR), belonging to the Social sciences and humanities, cultural heritage Department. The research group on Social Informatics and Technology Assessment mainly focuses on: theoretical and technological innovations to reduce the digital divide in the population, increasing the availability and accessibility of services, information, data, and knowledge through ICT; the analysis of the impact of ICT on the population and the expectations in terms of evolution and perspectives of technologies.

About me

I am a researcher with the National Research Council (CNR) at the Institute for Research on Population and Social Policies in Rome, Italy.

As a computer science engineer, my research interests include: - Human-centered design - Human-machine interaction - Social informatics - Co-design approaches - Participatory and co-creative methods.

Since 2005, I have participated in over 20 European projects related to various fields, including the circular economy, responsible research and innovation (RRI), human-computer interaction, decision support systems, knowledge management, knowledge sharing, risk management, and nature-based solutions.

My primary expertise lies in human-centered design methodologies, which facilitate the development of innovative interactive solutions that encourage joint decision-making, knowledge sharing, creativity, and sustainability for both individuals and the environment. I also study user experience across different contexts.

I am seeking opportunities for international collaboration as a partner in EU projects.
