I am a Research Associate at the Data Science Group of the Knowledge Media Institute (KMi), U.K. My research focuses on the social implications of digital technologies and algorithmic governance adopting a close synergy between Computer and Social Sciences. The latest achievement of this interdisciplinary approach is a co-authored paper on '"Ethics by Design" methodology for AI research projects' to be published at the proceedings of the AAAI/ACM conference "AI, Ethics, and Society" conference in February 2018, New Orleans. Furthermore, I was invited to give a talk at the workshop on societal challenges at the "European Symposium on Societal Challenges in Computational Social Science 2017: Inequality and Imbalance" in November 2017, London. To foster the collaboration between computer and social scientists on the study of societal phenomena emerging from technological advances, I have co-organized the workshop "re-coding Black Mirror" hosted in its second edition at "The Web Conference" in April 2018, Lyon after a successful first one at the International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) in October 2017, Vienna. I have presented my work in leading conferences, and served as guest co-editor for the special issue 'Redesigning or Redefining Privacy?' (2017) published by the Westminster Papers in Communication Culture (WPCC).
