Profile	I am research scientist at the Xerox Research Center Europe (XRCE) in Grenoble, visiting researcher at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), and visiting professor at the universities of Trento (DISI) and Rome La Sapienza (Eng. & Coputer Science). I do research in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Collaborative Computing (or CSCW), Social Computing, and Information Visualization. See my XRCE work page and a list of recent PARC publications.
Bio	Since 2011, I work as research scientist at Xerox Research Center Europe (XRCE), Work Practices Technologies group, and I am visiting professor at the universities of Trento (host: prof. Fabio Casati) and La Sapienza of Rome (host: prof. Tiziana Catarci), where I teach collaborative and social computing. Earlier, I have worked at PARC for three years, in the Augmented Social Cognition group. Previously, I have trained and worked at PARC, IBM Research Almaden, Penn State's College of IST, Virginia Tech's Computer Science Deptartment, the ITC-IRST center in Italy, La Sapienza of Rome (Psychology and Computer Science). I co-authored about fifty papers published at international conferences and journals. I was awarded a Fulbright Fellowship in 2002 and I obtained my Ph.D. degree in Information Sciences & Technologies from Penn State and M.S. and B.S. degrees from La Sapienza University of Rome in Psychology and Computer Science. I have more than ten years of experience in human-computer interaction, collaborative computing, and social computing research. I collaborated with top researchers in USA and Europe, including John M. Carroll (my PhD advisor), Mary Beth Rosson (co-advisor), Ed H. Chi (PARC manager), Peter Pirolli, Antonietta Grasso, Tom Moran, Daniela Petrelli, and Antonella De Angeli.
Projects	Over the past four years, my collaborative and social computing research at XRCE and PARC have focused on analyzing requirements, prototyping, and systematically evaluating collective intelligence tools for knowledge workers in the enterprise (web2.0, enterprise2.0, enterprise crowdsourcing). My recent projects focus on building web-based prototypes that help to easily connect email to corporate blogs and wikis (Mail2tag and Mail2Wiki), manage grassroots innovation and crowdsourcing in organizations (Innovation Cockpit), and help knowledge workers to interactively aggregate information streams (FeedWinnower).
