Short Bio

Social scientist interested in engaging people in the design process of new technologies and ICT-based services. I developed skills in conducting user studies to support innovation processes in the field of e-inclusion services and Ambient Intelligence for health care services.
Since November 2004 I work as researcher at Fondazione Bruno Kessler. I am member of the i3 group, a multidisciplinary team composed of computer scientists, psychologists and social scientists, interested in developing advanced interfaces and knowledge technologies. Drawing on sociological qualitative methods my goal is to understand users’ needs and activities, envision novel technological solutions, iteratively evaluate design ideas with users.
