I am an incoming assistant professor (tenure track -- RTT) of computer science at the University of Trieste. I study algorithmic fairness and auditing of artificial intelligence systems.My research centers on defining, operationalizing, and measuring fairness, with a focus on domain-specific requirements, and a critical perspective on data management and ethics.
I enjoy working across domains and leveraging mixed methods for complex socio-technical questions. I am lucky to work across disciplinary boundaries with scholars from different fields. Get in touch if you're interested in collaborating.
Previously, I spent four years in industry with IBM and Electrolux and two years with Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy, advised by Asia Biega. To develop relevant solutions for pressing socio-technical issues, I aim to guide and translate policy into responsible computing practices that practitioners can understand and adopt. Currently, I am especially interested in the AI Act and its implementation.
In March 2025 I am joining the Univesrity of Trieste as a tenure-track assistant professor.
The 3rd European Workshop on Algorithmic Fairness took place in Mainz, Germany, on July 1-3, 2024. See you next year at EWAF'25!
I have been granted a Humboldt Research Fellowship to study algorithmic fairness with limited data.
My Ph.D. thesis received the Elena Cornaro Award for gender studies.
We advised five AI providers on compliance at the EU AI Act Grand Challenge.
Our research on discrimination in car insurance was featured on national TV (Rai3) and international press (AlgorithmWatch).
The 2nd European Workshop on Algorithmic Fairness took place in June 2023 and I was a Program Chair. We had a really exciting program (if I may say so myself)!
Our book on quantification is out. Have a look if you're interested in estimators for groups rather than individuals.
I successfully defended my Ph.D. I am now a postdoctoral researcher at Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy.
I received the IP&M Best Ph.D. Paper Award.
