Teaching Exchange at PoliTo

🇮🇹I have really enjoyed this past week, which I have spent in Turin following an invitation by the POEL (Possible Entanglements Lab) @Polito - Department of Architecture and Design (DAD) of the Politecnico di Torino to spend a week conducting a knowledge exchange.

🤖 Earlier in the week, I delivered a talk to several professors, designers, technologists, and graduate students about my scientific and design research and artistic projects. I focused on the projects I worked on during my Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral studies, the work I conducted at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, and the current project NURTURE (FRAIM, Erasmus MC, TU Delft | Industrial Design Engineering).

🚘Later in the week, I also delivered a lecture on human-machine interfaces to students pursuing the automotive engineering degree.

🖼️ During my visit here, I also had discussions on human-robot interaction, applied AI, and digital heritage. It was fun to briefly join the digital heritage group at DAD on a heritage scanning exercise.

🙏 I want to thank Maria Luce Lupetti, and Alessandro Ianniello for their hospitality. Furthermore, I want to thank Luigi De Russis for introducing me to his group and for the interesting discussions, also together with Yvonne Rogers, who also happened to be visiting.

Pleased to have had the chance to exchange ideas in beautiful Torino, which offered some amazing historical sites that I was happy to revisit. Grazie!

Thank you for the Erasmus+ teaching exchange funding for the financial assistance.
