I am an Assistant Professor at University of Palermo. My research focuses on intelligent interactive systems, human-computer interaction, creativity, and ubiquitous computing. I am particularly interested in understanding how to support people in a variety of ubiquitous, social, and collaborative settings through novel methods and technologies that enable seamless access to information.

Prior to joining University of Palermo I was a postdoctoral researcher at University of Helsinki and Aalto University, as part of the Helsinki Institute for Information Technology HIIT. I have also collaborated with the Human Computer Interaction Institute of Carnegie Mellon University as a visiting research scholar. I hold a PhD in Computer Engineering from the University of Palermo.
