🎓About Me
THIS WEBSITE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION (LAST MODIFICATION: 25/06/24)
I am Associate Professor at Università di Bologna since 2022 (after three years as Senior assistant professor; RTDb, in the Italian system). I have been working on the (cross-language) assessment of text looking at different aspects such as originality (e.g., plagiarism detection) and intent (e.g., propaganda, hate speech).
Visit my UniBO website for university matters.
Before landing at UniBO, I spent 5 years as a Scientist at the Language Technologies group of QCRI and 2 as research fellow at TALP.
