I am a Computational Social Scientist specializing in quantitative and computational methods to study digital society, information environments, and public communication. My research combines methodological innovation with the study of how digital platforms and information environments shape public discourse and collective behavior through rigorous, data-driven social sciences.
As a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication Sciences, Humanities and International Studies at the University of Urbino Carlo Bo, I lead research and teaching that integrate computational approaches—including large-scale data analysis, network science, machine learning, natural language processing, and advanced statistical modeling—to address fundamental questions about information, communication, and social organization in contemporary societies. Previously, I was a researcher in the Department of Communication at the University of Vienna, Austria, where I taught Advanced Data Analysis and contributed to the Computational Communication Science Lab.
I have collaborated as a research expert with academic and institutional partners, including the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre for Algorithmic Transparency and the Media Authority of North Rhine-Westphalia, on projects addressing misinformation, digital influence operations, platform governance, and the organization of information in digital environments.
