RESEARCH
Innovation

Following the completion of my Master's Degree in Digital Humanities, graduating with honors and specializing in Virtual Technologies for Edutainment and Cultural Heritage, I joined Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna as a PhD researcher.

My research focused on the concepts of presence and advanced robotic technologies for interaction within virtual environments, combining immersive technologies with human-centered design. I worked on the development of visualization systems, intelligent interfaces, teleoperation solutions, human–machine interaction, and perception technologies, contributing to innovative applications across multiple domains, including cultural heritage, assistive technologies, healthcare, rehabilitation, industrial design, simulation, training, and education.

During my doctoral research, under the supervision of Prof. Marcello Carrozzino, I collaborated on interdisciplinary projects with internationally recognized institutions, including the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Ca' Foscari University of Venice, and the National Museum of San Matteo in Pisa.

PASSIONS
Life & Interests

Working in the digital industry since 2010, my passion for tech dates back much earlier. It was the mid-90s: the 56k modem was making that terrible noise, and my grandfather Antonio gifted me a fabulous Atari 2600. I've always been equally passionate about video games and literature. I love building digital worlds as much as I enjoy reading Euripides in the original Ancient Greek—a combination that reflects both my curiosity and my interdisciplinary mindset.

I have a strong international mindset. In my mid-twenties I spent a period working in the US (New York City), where I enjoyed challenging business environments and multicultural teams.

Like many working mothers, I excel at multitasking. I’m the proud mom of a beautiful baby girl named Atena, the love of my life. An avid book lover and art enthusiast, I firmly believe in courage, kindness and lifelong learning.

Last but not least, I'm a yogi and a shotokan karate black belt. Martial arts taught me to be a tireless fighter.

Favourite writers:

Italo Calvino, Jane Austen, Jorge Luis Borges, Oscar Wilde, Jules Verne, Lucy Maud Montgomery.

Favourite music:

Bring Me The Horizon, Blink 182, Bad Omens, Gigi D'Agostino, Subsonica, Cristina D'Avena (yes!)
