Bologna, Emilia-Romagna, Italy
I am an interdisciplinary research and teaching professional with 10+ years of international experience at the intersection of digital governance, innovation, and public-interest technologies. My work has spanned projects on public engagement with science and technology, science and tech policies, anti-corruption and transparency, financial inclusion, responsible innovation, open data communities and combating disinformation, with a consistent focus on how latest information and communication technologies can serve the public good. I bring strong skills in qualitative and mixed-methods research, data analysis, project and stakeholder management, and content creation. I have led workshops, coordinated international collaborations, and spoken at global conferences, always translating evidence into practical insights and policy-relevant outputs. Alongside my research career, I have worked extensively in the publishing and education sectors as a textbook author, copy-editor, translator, and proofreader. This multisectoral background has honed my ability to communicate complex ideas clearly across audiences. Fluent in English, Italian, Bengali, and Hindi, I thrive in multicultural environments and am now looking to apply my expertise both in academia and beyond, particularly in roles that connect digital innovation, social impact, and interdisciplinary and intersectoral international collaboration. From January 2026, I don a new hat, that of an independent project manager and consultant.
