I’m a social scientist, working on the impacts of digital and Internet connectivity on society and the economy. After graduation in communication sciences, side by side with sociologists, pedagogists, economists, urbanists and software engineers I’ve been conducting empirical, applied and speculative research on e-learning, social network analysis and innovation, inter-organisational knowledge management, mobile media for tourism, information technology and mobility/urban analysis, broadband and Wi-Fi policies.

My major works have been published by McGraw-Hill (a manual on E-learning), American Behavioural Scientist (a special issue on Communities Vs Networks) and UTET (a book on Social Change); the applied research initiatives I coordinated have been featured by Wired, Technology Review and BBC, while adopted as a best practice by the Italian Ministry of Communication.

I’m currently affiliated with the Senseable City Lab at MIT (Dept. of Urban Studies and Planning). Also, I’m a Phd Candidate at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (Economics), doing quantitative empirical research on the relationship between mobile technologies and mobility
