Short bio

I am  assistant professor at the Faculty of Computer Science at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano in Italy. My research focuses on psychological aspects of personalization in connection with computational models. Specific interests include the usage of psychological models (e.g. personality, emotions etc.) for improving personalized applications (e.g. recommender systems) and the usage of social media to infer the psychological models. I use diverse research methodologies, including data mining, machine learning, and user studies.
