Assistant Professor (RTDb) at Politecnico di Torino
I research end-user personalization of smart devices and Digital Wellbeing technologies to empower users in our connected world.
Empowering non-programmers to create, modify, and debug software through intuitive tools and interfaces. My research focuses on making technology more accessible and customizable for end users.
Investigating how digital technologies impact users' mental and physical health, and developing tools to promote healthier digital habits and self-control in our connected world.
Studying dark patterns and deceptive interface strategies, their impact on user autonomy, and design approaches to identify, measure, and mitigate them.
I participated as a panellist in the ECAT Research Workshop 2025 in Seville, discussing social media addiction and the features that make it hard for children to leave online platforms.
