I co-authored more than 40 papers published in peer reviewed journals, conferences, and books in the field of music technology (i.e., NIME, AudioMostly, Sound and Music Computing) and HCI (i.e., CHI, TEI, DIS, Personal and Ubiquitous Computing Journal), obtaining awards and mentions in conferences like CHI and DIS. I have conducted reserach in a variety of areas or interatcive technology - i.e., digital commons, music performance, interactive systems for dance, embodied interaction, live coding, game design, virtual reality, digital creativity. My research currently focuses on 1) longevity and sustainability of interactive (music) systems, 2) shared agency and collaboration in interactive (sound) art, and 3) embodied interaction.
