Welcome to my personal website!

I am an Assistant Professor in the Data Science Lab within the Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering (DEIB) at Politecnico di Milano. I am also affiliated with Indiana University Bloomington’s Observatory on Social Media (OSOME) and I have been a Visiting Scholar at the University of Southern California’s Information Sciences Institute. I am an ELLIS Member and part of the Social Data Science Alliance.

I study Responsible AI at the intersection of AI and Computational Social Science, with a focus on how generative AI is reshaping digital ecosystems. My research examines misinformation, AI search engines, and human–AI interactions to develop data-driven approaches for trustworthy and accountable AI-mediated platforms.
