I am a sociologist of digital technologies and artificial intelligence working at the intersection of social sciences and cognitive sciences. My research focuses on information search, learning, metacognition, epistemic vigilance, computational modelling and multi-agent systems, as well as organizational transformations associated with digital technologies.
Current research
The main current programme is MOVICI, which combines a theoretical architecture (CAVL — Cognitive Architecture for Vigilant Learning), empirical studies of open-Web information search and cooperative/competitive debate, and agent-based modelling.
Complete academic record
This website is deliberately simple in design, but not selective in content. The detailed pages reproduce the full academic record contained in the October 2026 CV: publications, manuscripts, reports, conference communications, public-science talks, scientific responsibilities, event organization, collaborations, teaching, supervision, peer review, skills and academic positions.
Publication titles, conference titles, official course titles and student dissertation titles are retained in their original language when that is the official title. Navigation and explanatory text are in English.
