Tech was traditionally seen as a beacon for hope and empowerment.
Unfortunately, in our world, it is pretty clear that technological development will not save us.
Through my research, I challenge this idea and design technologies which can bridge inequalities and foster justice and social change.”
In my research, I combine various qualitative research methods, such as interviews, focus groups, with design methods like participatory design workshop or usability testing, to provide an answer to the following major questions:
How do people use digital technologies to aid them in accessing reproductive care?
How can we co-design technologies that assist these populations accessing and improving reproductive care by leveraging their own existing practices?
How do digital technologies impact our own perception of the definition and notion of reproductive health and care and our own reproductive bodies?

I am a proud Italian woman, who after working for years in the industry, decided to start a PhD as a way to give a meaning to a meaningless and chaotic existence.
Throughout my PhD I had the opportunity to do research on what was dear to my heart, and I will be extremely grateful for that.
When I am not researching or doing PhD Candidate chores, I am doing my own adventures in the world and I take pictures of them.
