Human Computer Interaction


Finally I am at the end of student career. After three years of Computer Science, I am going to finish the Master’s Degree in Psychology at the University of Milan-Bicocca. To design an interface to manage thesauri is the subject of the thesis that has been written with the help of Gabriella Pasi, Carlo Ferigato and Luca Bernardinello. This work is important for me because it is part of the project at the JRC of Ispra, carried out in collaboration with FAO, BGS and BNCF.

The thesis is going to be presented tomorrow at Palazzo delle Stelline in Milan (map) during the conference L’Italia delle Biblioteche. The collateral presentation is organized by AIDA and Piero Cavaleri in Sala Verdi.

The day after tomorrow the thesis is going to be officially discussed at the University of Milan-Bicocca at the Department of Psychology.

The thesis is in Italian, I hope to have the time to translate it. Click on the image to get the full pdf of the thesis or click Il tesauro non è un dinosauro.

Yesterday was one of the day of tutorials. I attended to one of them, named Cross-Cultural User Interface Design. The teacher was Aaron Marcus, famous to be the world’s first graphic designer involved full-time with computer graphics and the founder of Aaron Marcus and Associates. As you can guess, the day was great.

After a week spent in Los Angeles, I arrived in San Diego to present the paper “Mapping for Multi-Source Visualization: Scientific Information Retrieval Service (SIRS)”, written with Matina Halkia from a work carried out with Massimiliano Gusmini at the Joint Research Centre, European Commission in Ispra, Italy.

The Human Computer Interaction 2009 is going to be an amazing experience for me, both as person and as researcher. I hope to have the time to publish some news during the following days.
