Research interests

  • Digital technologies and affective dynamics in digitalized work environments

    My research explores the multifaceted ways in which digital technologies shape team interactions, individual experiences, and workplace dynamics, with a focus on affective processes, datastress, and Generative AI. I investigate how emotions, moods, and cognitive responses unfold in digital collaboration spaces, utilizing a variety of methods, including lab experiments, social media analytics, and qualitative interviews. This work aims to uncover how digital tools impact team performance, affective communication, and neurodiverse experiences.

Available projects

  • Investigating Media Affectivity and UI Design in Digital Collaboration

    This project examines how digital technologies, including video conferencing tools and collaborative platforms, influence emotional dynamics and team performance through their user interfaces (UI). Using lab experiments, the student will explore how affective cues (e.g., facial expressions, tone of voice) and specific UI design elements (e.g., layout, feedback mechanisms) impact communication, mood regulation, and task engagement in digital environments. The project aims to identify how UI design can enhance affective communication and optimize collaboration in digital teams. Ideal candidates will have experience in experimental design, human-computer interaction, and/or UI/UX design.

    Students may propose related research projects.

  • Managing Datastress in Non-Data Job Roles

    This project explores datastress, the cognitive and emotional burden experienced by workers who handle data but do not have data-specific roles. The student will have the opportunity to choose a context of interest (e.g., healthcare, crisis management, public administration) to investigate how data-related tasks, such as data entry, analysis, and decision-making, impact psychological well-being and productivity. Possible methods include case studies, field experiments, or lab experiments to develop strategies for alleviating datastress in these environments. Ideal candidates will have an interest in workplace stress, data management, and applied psychological research.

    Students may propose related research projects.

  • Exploring Technorelief for Neurodiverse Populations in Digital Contexts

    This project investigates how digital technologies provide technorelief for neurodivergent individuals, helping them manage sensory, cognitive, or social stress. The student can choose a context of interest, such as education, healthcare, or social media, to explore how digital tools alleviate stress in neurodiverse populations. Methods can include case studies, qualitative interviews, surveys, lab experiments, and social media analysis, with a preference for mixed methods. This project may contribute to the development of digital tools that enhance accessibility and reduce stress for neurodiverse individuals. Ideal candidates should have an interest in neurodiversity, digital technologies, and mixed-method research. Possibility to explore UX/UI opportunities.

    Students may propose related research projects.
