My research interests broadly encompass the topics of Immersive Media, Experimental Psychology, Social XR, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Automation Systems.
With a solid foundation in Engineering and Industrial Design, combined with technical experience in industry, I aim to leverage my skillset in human-centered design of technology, grounded in philosophical contemplation, to contribute towards the ethical implementation of AI and future intelligent systems within society.
