I am a PhD candidate in Cybersecurity at IMT School for Advanced Studies and the University of Florence. My research, situated within the ethics of AI, concerns the influence of recommender systems deployed by social media platforms on users' autonomy in the context of EU digital regulation. My doctoral research builds on philosophical, legal and empirical perspectives. I am currently a visiting scholar at the Institute for Information Law, University of Amsterdam, and have recently completed a scientific traineeship at the Joint Research Centre of European Commission (Ispra, Italy). After obtaining a bachelor’s degree in Philosophy from the University of Bologna (2020), I completed an MSc in Social Science of the Internet from the University of Oxford (2022), an MA in Sociology and Global Challenges from the University of Florence (2022) and a Diploma di Licenza in Political and Social Sciences from Scuola Normale Superiore (2022). During my studies, I spent visiting periods at the University of Warwick, Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris (ENS-PSL) and Imperial College London.
