Author: Patrizia Marti
Ph.D
Patrizia Marti is Senior Researcher at the Communication Science Department, University of Siena (I) where she teaches HCI, Interaction Design and Design of Learning Technologies (1996). Her academic experience includes teaching at the Polytechnic of Milan (I) (1997 to 2001); IULM, Libera Università di Lingue e Comunicazione, Milan (I) (2000), University of Limerick (IR) (2001), University of Sassari (I) (2006-2008).
Her research interests range over a broad range of topics - including human-centred design, interaction design, aesthetics of interaction, wearable and smart materials, learning and special education, design of e-health applications, human-robot interaction, design and validation of complex systems (in particular in the field of air traffic management), and societal impacts of new technologies. She is cited across these fields.
Patrizia has an interdisciplinary background in philosophy and computing. She has a Ph.D. in Aesthetics of Interaction from the Technical University Eindhoven (The Netherlands), Faculty of Industrial Design, under the supervision of Prof. Overbeeke, Hummels and Aarts. The thesis is entitled “Enabling through design: explorations of aesthetic interaction in therapy and care”.
For several years, she worked as independent consultant at IBM Svenska Aktiebolag, IBM Nordic Laboratorier, Lidingo, Sweden (1989-1990); TECSIEL, Rome, Italy (1987); Translation service of the European Commission, Brussels, Belgium, (1987-2000); Alenia airspace company, Rome, Italy (1991-1996); RAI television company, Rome, Italy, (1997); FIAT Italian Automobile Factory of Turin, Italy (1998); Wind Italian telecom operator, Rome, Italy (1999); Omnitel Italian telecom operator, Rome, Italy (1999).
She has been visiting fellow at the Center for Research in Language, University of California San Diego, USA in 1990 and 1995.
From November 2009 until April 2010 she spent her sabbatical leave at the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven (The Netherlands), Department of Industrial Design, Designing Quality in Interaction group (Prof. Overbeeke).
She has a long experience in fund raising at national and European level. He has been a Principal Investigator on 11 EU funded projects. She has been expert advisor to many EU and international bodies, including EU Commission, EU Future & Emerging Technologies Programme, EU Intelligent Information Interfaces, Eurocontrol, EU Disappearing Computer, UX group at University of Warsaw (Poland), Swedish Agency for Innovation Systems.
She is a Member of the Italian SigCHI chapter and ACM. She has been a Program Chair and Associate Editor for the CHItaly Conference and Ro-Man conference. She has served Scientific and Organizing Committees in various areas of HCI, ID and Information Systems, including ACM CHI, ACM IDC, ACM DIS, IEEE ICRA, IEEE IROS, IEEE ICORR.
She has been an invited keynote speaker at different European conferences in the UK (AISB), Italy (PC), France (LIFT), Tanzania (TEDC).
