Eleonora Mencarini

Eleonora Mencarini has been collaborating with FBK since 2009. She holds a PhD (cum laude) in Computer Science from the University of Trento (Italy) and an MA (cum laude) in Communication Science from the University of Siena (Italy). She has experience in user studies, UI and UX design, conduction of co-design workshops, prototyping, and formative and summative evaluations.

My main research interests are ethnography, co-design, embodied interaction, and interaction design in natural environments. The main application fields where I have conducted my research so far are outdoor sports, wearable devices, citizen science, playful education.
