Hi, I'm Tommaso

I'm a PhD Candidate at Politecnico Di Torino
I study and develop methods to bridge humans and AI systems. My current main focus is on UI design and development, where I leverage modern Machine Learning, Human-Computer Interaction, and Human-AI Interaction techniques to make UI prototyping more efficient, simple, fun, and effective.
I am currently in the third year of my Ph.D. at Politecnico di Torino, working in the e-Lite research group under the supervision of Luigi De Russis. During the last semester I visited the Teachable AI Lab at the Georgia Institute of Technology, under the supervision of Christopher MacLellan.
