ABOUT ME
Since 2014, I have been dedicated to my career as a Psychologist, specializing in group and organizational dynamics. Throughout these years, I have collaborated with a diverse array of companies, groups, and organizations, serving as a consultant to facilitate their developmental journeys. Currently, I hold the position of Research Fellow at the Department of Computer Science and am advancing towards the completion of my Ph.D. at the University of Torino, in the Department of Psychology. My research primarily focuses on the intersection of technology and psychology, exploring the impact of technology on individuals, and examining how people perceive, utilize, and interact with technological tools. Additionally, I have enriched my academic experience by spending six months as a Visiting Researcher at the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), under the mentorship of Prof. Max V. Birk, where I delved into various aspects of game-related research.
