I am a computational social scientist with extensive experience in data analysis, statistics, and digital methods. My research advances methodological approaches while examining how digital media platforms shape communication, public discourse, and political behavior through rigorous, data-driven inquiry grounded in the social sciences.
As Assistant Professor at the Department of Communication Sciences, Humanities and International Studies at the University of Urbino Carlo Bo, I lead research and teaching activities that integrate innovative computational approaches—such as large-scale data analysis, network and machine learning techniques, natural language processing, and advanced statistical modeling—to address critical questions at the intersection of communication, media, and society. Previously, I was a researcher at the Department of Communication, University of Vienna, where I taught Advanced Data Analysis and contributed to the Computational Communication Science Lab.
I have collaborated on projects with a range of academic and institutional partners—including the European Commission and the Media Authority of North Rhine-Westphalia—on issues such as misinformation, digital influence operations, and platform governance. My work combines methodological innovation with an interdisciplinary perspective to better understand how communication technologies intersect with democracy, power, and social change.
