Hi.
I am a cognitive scientist and interdisciplinary scholar who investigates how artistic practices and digital technologies shape our cognitive processes and emotions. In particular, I am interested in examining how art and technology can transform our feelings of intimacy and impact our mind-wandering experiences. I share my insights through various outlets: as an academic lecturer in universities in California and Europe, giving workshops and conducting lecture performances, curating exhibitions, writing articles, and as a consultant to designers and artists. Recently I was awarded the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Global Fellowship from the European Commission. My research project is a collaborative effort between the ENS in Paris and UC Berkeley where I will investigate the possibility to enhance creative thoughts when mind-wandering through an arts intervention.
