PROFILE SUMMARY
I am a researcher and Marie Curie alumna working on the intersection between law, ethics, and computer science. I have a legal background with a PhD on international private law, received from the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Italy under the supervision of Prof. Fabrizio Marrella. I am now postdoc researcher at Tilburg University, investigating the ethical aspects of European Data Spaces. My research activity focuses on computational methods for fairness and bias assessment; legal and ethical compliance of Artificial Intelligence systems; technical challenges related to the protection of fundamental rights in high-risk AI systems. The strong interdisciplinarity of my research lead me to publish on both legal and computer science journals and conferences. I am Associate Editor of the scientific journal IEEE Transactions on Artificial Intelligence, and I am member of the SHIELD Technical Committee (Ethical, Legal, Social, Environmental and Human Dimensions of Artificial Intelligence) within the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society. Thanks to my interdisciplinary expertise, I have experience in teaching both AI to humanities, and ethics to engineers.

The EU-funded ARISE project, recognizing the benefits of AI at the EU level, aims to develop a consortium that will assist SMEs in the effective and efficient development and commercial deployment of novel AI-based technologies for the manufacturing sector, specifically for AI-enabled applications at the edge. The project will mostly focus on technologies that help reduce emissions, waste, as well as carbon footprint. It will offer SMEs easily accessible AI expert help and guidance. I served as an Ethics and Privacy consultant for the completion of the first deliverable of the project.

2021-2022 ReMiDE – Regulating misinformation and disinformation: empirical evidences (funded
16.000 €)
Research Fellow
P.I. Dr. Elena Falletti
In recent years, the theme of disinformation and misinformation has become increasingly important. The fast spreading of fake news on social media, together with the progress of technologies such as deep fake, which can be particularly deceptive, has become a threat for democracy. In this scenario, it is crucial to understand how institutions may act to stem the spreading of fake news or at least to reduce the negative impact on society. This project is aimed at finding empirical evidences to sustain recommendations for a change in legislation.
