Senior technical leader, with a 20+ years industry and academic experience and the goal and passion to mix design strategy with agile user experience (UX) research and innovation to enrich people’s everyday life and humanize technology.
My current focus is Artificial Intelligence (AI), with an emphasis on smart spaces, sensor technology and aging in place. Prior to Intel, I worked as architect in Italy and Senior Research Fellow at RMIT University in Australia.
I am committee member and reviewer for several international journals, institutes and conferences and conducted research and presented in 6 continents. In 2018 I was recognized as one of Italy's 50 most inspiring women in tech (InspiringFifty initiative).

2019 | RISD, USA
This 2019 art installation, titled "Debris" and displayed at RISD (Rhode Island School of Design) for EPIC19, focused on what is left behind by our daily interactions with non-human agents, providing arts-infused lenses to investigate and help untangle our complex relationships with smart systems. The installation included 4 of my pieces pieces, alongside physical evidence of the design and ethnographic practice that I and a colleague used to ground, inspire, and create them.
The process and method we used was building on techniques that I created and refined over the past two decades. There are a number of publications that discuss such techniques - the most recent one is an article I published in ACM Interactions, titled "Design. research. art. | Weaving voices to enrich HCI practice."
