I'm a Developmental Clinical Psychologist with a keen interest on social social interactions in young children's daily ecologies. I investigate the development of social understanding in daily routines, at pre-school or in the family, to look at how young children understand, share and make sense of the world around them in ecological interactions with others. 

I'm also increasingly interested in technology-related ethics, trying to understand how boundaries of social affective practices are renegotiated in everyday contexts wherein technological artefacts are present, especially within family and peer-group dynamics. My work is situated within this intersectional and feminist perspectives to understand how humans interact with and make sense of artificial social agents/devices in their daily ecologies.

I use multimodal analyses and observational methods to investigate human social cognition development in ecological settings as participatory sense-making processes, looking at how situated practices and resources(e.g., outdoor) shape our social affective development and experiences.

I'm a Wallenberg AI-Humanities and Society (WASP-HS) Assistant Professor and PI of the project Social Interactions with Autonomous Systems, where I adopt ethomethods and feminist approaches to understand how AI technologies are shaping human social experiences, ethics understanding, values and epistemic processes and practices.

I coordinate the networking project "Girls just want to have Sc(AI)ence: creating a research network to foster women’s participation in technoscience", a workshop series offering engaged and engaging encounters combining keynote talks with hands-on participatory sessions, where participants are invited to discuss situated and concrete ways to use toolkits from feminist and critical perspectives in their AI research. The project is funded by the HT Faculties and Lund NAC profile area.
