Research & Professional Interests
I am interested in evaluation, reviewing and monitoring of research proposals and projects, especially related to ICT for content, creativity and personal development. I earned a PhD in Innovative Technologies (2010) with a thesis on interaction with artificial creatures (such as robots and avatars) merging cognitive sciences, art and technology . In parallel to my research activities I have been working in EU project management, proposals writing, dissemination activities, communications and event organization.
