I am an Assistant Senior Lecturer at the Department of Learning, Informatics, Management and Ethics (LIME) at ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡. I hold a Master of Science in Electronic Engineering (2000) and a Ph.D. in Bioengineering (2004), both from Politecnico di Milano, Italy. My journey into the fields of Medical Informatics and e-Health began in 2001.

My research primarily focuses on Health Informatics, currently on ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ terminologies and health IT standards for harmonization of health data exchange. My aim is to emphasize the importance of standardization in ensuring interoperability and improving the quality of healthcare systems. I have investigated strategies for identifying trustworthy ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ apps, helping users select reliable tools for health management.

Recently, my international research has highlighted the importance of addressing human factors in cybersecurity within healthcare organizations, emphasizing the need for formal training and educational standards to mitigate cyber risks. I have worked on enhancing ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ lexicons for consumer and patient use, making ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ information more accessible.

My previous research included the management of large ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ image archives, consumer health informatics, and the development of models for personal and family health record systems. The findings of my research contribute to advancing Health Informatics by improving the management of ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ data, enhancing patient engagement, and ensuring the security of health information systems.

As the course director and teacher for "" and "" in the  at ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡, I adopt a comprehensive and student-centered teaching approach.

My goal is to provide a holistic education in health informatics, combining theoretical knowledge with practical skills, collaborative learning, and research integration. 

My commitment to interactive and hands-on learning ensures that students are well-prepared to contribute to the advancement of health informatics and improve healthcare delivery.
