• SICAL (since 2014) - Situated Interaction, Collaboration, Adaptation and Learning. Research topics: Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) environments, Human Computer Interaction, Adaptation
• SILEX (2008-2014) - Supporting Interaction and Learning by Experience. Research topics: Knowledge dynamics and traced experience, Co-desing of situated TELS, Interactive Adaptive Systems

My research interests are focusing on Adaptive Interactive Systems, trying to improve System Accessibility, Usability and Utility to users. I am interested in human-computer interaction engineering, document and knowledge engineering, technology enhanced learning, AI and machine learning. Application domains are related to education, culture and health (mainly visual impairment).

My research work focuses on the adaptation of computer systems to their usage contexts and aims at proposing models/processes/tools to identify, characterize this notion of context and guide the adaptation of systems.
I have mainly carried out work dealing firstly with digital accessibility and, more recently, with usage/behavior analysis for the redesign/adaptability of systems.
