Research
My main research interests are related, but not exclusively, to Human-Computer Interaction, co-design, digital health and design technologies for vulnerable communities.
Currently, I am working under the supervision of Dr. Nervo Verdezoto and Dr. Katarzyna Stawarz. I am working in understanding the co-design methods with and for low-resource communities in the Global South.
