Hi, I'm Tommaso
I'm a Postdoctoral Researcher 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 a Postdoctoral Researcher at 
Politecnico di Torino, working in the 
e-Lite research group. Previously, I completed my Ph.D. under the supervision of Luigi De Russis and visited the Teachable AI Lab at the 
Georgia Institute of Technology under the supervision of Christopher MacLellan.
