Nice to meet you!

Abstract

I’m so lucky to have my passion as a job: I am pssionate about blending education and technology, especially when it comes to supporting learners with disabilities and rethinking how we teach computational and design skills.
My communication style is part metaphors, part memes, and always slightly chaotic (with hyperlinks bacause every sentence comes with a bonus content).

I love illustration, storytelling (check out the relevant sections if you’re curious 👀), and bread as much as park's ducks love it. On the other side, I have LinkedIn and burocracy but I have to do both.

My journey

Explaining what I do for a living to granma? That’s a bit like trying to describe what clouds taste like—tricky and long, but let’s give it a shot.

I started my academic journey with a BSc in Psychological Sciences at the University of Trento and my fascination with how humans interact with the world (and tech) led me to an MSc in Human-Computer Interaction, also at Trento.

Along the way, I dove into the practical side of UX, with hands-on experience in industry and research.

I worked on human factors at DLR (Braunschweig, Germany), under the guidance of Dr. Maria Hagl, and wrote my thesis on cognitive aspects of interaction with Prof. Barbara Treccani.

Currently, I’m pursuing a PhD in Learning Sciences and Digital Technologies at the Department of Information Engineering and Computer Science of In University of Trento (DISI), exploring the cognitive and educational value of Computational Thinking within STEAM education. My research focuses on metacognition and how students can learn to think about their own thinking (mind-blowing, right?) under the supervision of Prof. Alberto Montresor.

This work also ties into my role as a researcher and trainer for Glow Associazione Culturale, where I design and lead workshops on life design and career orientation for learners of all ages.

I’m also part of the research team at Fablab Unitn, where we explore the intersections of technology, creativity, and education. Soon, I’ll be a visiting scholar at SUPSI, collaborating with Professors Alberto Piatti and Angela Pasqualotto to dive deeper into Computational Thinking in the developmental age.

Within all this, I love cultivating my passions of illustration and content creation with the "Trottola Podcast" project (currently on a break due to personal issues). If curious, you can find them as well in this website.

If that’s not enough hats, I’m also finishing an MSc in Neuroscience and Neuropsychological Rehabilitation at the University of Padua, bringing everything full circle back to how humans process, learn, and thrive.
