My research focuses on the cognitive mechanisms that create and hinder cognitive biases in the digital world. I also investigate how social and cognitive structures influence decision-making.I am currently working as a postdoctoral researcher on the ALGOLIT project under the supervision of Professor Giuseppe Veltri. ALGOLIT focuses on developing a new cognitive measure of algorithmic literacy and identifying the aspects that contribute to its enhancement.

I obtained my PhD in Sociology and Social Research at the University of Trento in March 2024 with a thesis entitled "Unveiling the Shadows: A cognitive approach to understanding social influence strategies for establishing social order in darknet markets".
