Research Activities & Interests
 
Current
 
My PhD and most of my research activities are funded by the EnCoRe Project - a UK research project that is partially funded by the UK Government’s Technology Strategy Board, Economic & Social Research Council and Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council.
Topics of interest include privacy, policies, digital identities, personal data management and data quality.

Past
 
I hold a Mphil in Sociolinguistics from Università degli Studi di Pavia (Italy) and have almost 10 years experience as freelance consultant and researcher. As a consultant I have been worked mainly with CA (TrustItalia/Verisign), EU institutions and Banks.
As a researcher I have been working on a EU funded project EIAO - European Internet Accessibility Observatory - and with various European institutions.
Past research and professional interests included: e-inclusion strategies and technologies, HCI, usability, accessibility, disabilities and assistive technologies, e-government and e-democracy initiatives.
