About me

I’m a scientific collaborator at SUPSI, working in the field of Data Science, specializing in Computational Social Science. I work with data and deal with the whole phase of obtaining, cleaning and studying. I am particularly involved in misinformation, bias and networks of users and interactions. Currently very interested in alternative and emerging social platforms like Bluesky.

Research

I am part of the team working on the project CAll for Regulation support In Social MediA CARISMA, which aims to work on policies so that they are effective in mitigating the harms of social media actors responsible for abusive and illicit behaviors. Within the project I am working on a new version of the social media simulator SimSoM. I am also involved in collecting and studying data from the Bluesky platform, in which I have a special interest. I am open to any collaboration and data sharing.

Education

After obtaining a high school diploma in computer science, I started a three-year degree in computer engineering at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI), which I completed in the regular cycle with a thesis titled “Understanding Misbehavior in COVID19 Discussion on Social Networks and Online Media” where I was able to study datasets of human-generated activity related to COVID19 discussion, beginning to approach the study of data and misinformation. I am currently doing a Master of Science in Engineering in Data Science, still at SUPSI. In addition to the course of study, I had the pleasure of being able to participate in the “Computational Social Science: Advances, Challenges and Opportunities” school in Como, Italy, in 2024, where I was able to refine my knowledge in the field of Computational Social Science.
