RESEARCH
Senior researcher at the Center of Research and Social Intervention
My main research area has been the study of socio-affective processes, often employing a multi-method approach, including assessing subjective, behavioral, and physiological responses in human social interactions.
I investigate the impact of various social interventions and the use of tools (e.g., multimedia applications, board games, videos, media campaigns, social robots) designed to enhance well-being and prosocial behaviors in social, health, and educational contexts. The aim is to explore how these tools can be tailored to meet the needs of specific groups, encompassing different ages and socio-economic backgrounds.
My projects typically involve multidisciplinary teams, although predominantly from computer science. More recently, I have contributed to meta-science, aiming to enhance scientific practices, by collaborating with international research teams to ensure more robust, transparent, and reproducible research.
