Welcome to our new PhD students!

This year, we welcome three new PhD students to the group: Luca Scibetta, Francesca Russo, and Robert Schwartz. They work in the areas of digital wellbeing, human-centered AI, and education.

Luca Scibetta (on the left in the picture above) started his Ph.D. in Computer and Control Engineering in the XXXIX cycle, on February 2024. Luca is co-advised by Luigi De Russis and Alberto Monge Roffarello, and will work on topics related to digital wellbeing, specifically focusing on "designing user interfaces that promote digital wellbeing."

Francesca Russo (in the middle of the above picture) started her Ph.D. in Artificial Intelligence in the XL cycle, on November 2024. Francesca is co-advised by Luigi De Russis and Antonio Russo (CINECA), and will work on topics lying at the intersection of human-centered AI and education.

Finally, Robert Schwartz (on the right in the picture above) started his Ph.D. in Computer and Control Engineering in the XL cycle, on November 2024. Rob is co-advised by Alberto Monge Roffarello and Luigi De Russis, and will work on topics related to digital wellbeing, specifically focusing on "Digital Wellbeing in Non-Leisure Contexts."

We are excited to have them on board and look forward to their contributions to our research. Welcome, Luca, Francesca, and Rob! 🎉
