About me
About me
I am a researcher and Science Ambassador in the MoDis unit at Fondazione Bruno Kessler in Trento, Italy. I am passionate about video games, serious games, gamification, and board games. My research activities are mainly aimed at gamification design and effectiveness, game design, and UI/UX design, especially in sustainability.
I am currently working on participatory design in the field of collective actions and sustainability, defining gamified strategies for the co-production of collective actions, digital twins, and public spaces, involving a more-than-human approach. I'm involved in some research, the design and development of specific games about more-than-human approaches/point-of-view to bring playfulness and gamefulness into the eco-sustainability domain. I'm involved in several gamified campaigns to foster green mobility, and I'm currently working with some universities as part of the Nordic Forest Research network.
I got a Ph.D. in Cognitive Science at the University of Trento and with Fondazione Bruno Kessler with a thesis on gamification design. I've been a visiting student at The Games Institute at the University of Waterloo, Canada.
I taught "Gameful Systems Design" at the University of Trento, in the Department of Psychology and Cognitive Science, and "Engineering Gamified Systems" at the University of Trento, Department of Engineering and Information Science.
Beyond the research activities, my interests involve music, sports, cats, and beer tasting.
