about me
I am an Assistant Professor in Interaction and Critical Design at the Department of Architecture and Design at Politecnico di Torino (IT). My research is concerned with all matters of human entanglement with the artificial world, especially concerning complex technologies such as AI and robotics. I also serve as Exhibit X section editor for Interactions Mag.
Before my current position, I was an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering at TU Delft (NL), where I was also a core member of the AiTech Initiative on Meaningful Human Control over AI Systems and a member of the Automated Mobility Lab.
I hold a BA in Industrial Design from ISIA Roma Design, a MSc in Ecodesign (M.Sc.) & a PhD in Production, Management and Design from Politecnico di Torino, in Italy. During my doctoral studies on child-robot playful interactions, which was funded by Telecom Italia, I was also a visiting research fellow at Haipeng Mi Lab, at the Academy of Art and Design, Tsinghua University, China. After my doctoral studies, I was a postdoctoral research fellow also at TU Delft, The Netherlands.
