Cristiano Storni is lecturer and senior researcher in Interaction design. He is a core member of the Interaction Design Centre in the department of Computer Science and Information Systems, Faculty of Science and Engineering. His research lies at the intersection of Design (of new digital technologies) and social sciences (he is a trained ethnographer). He practices a Human-centred and Participatory approach to the design and evaluation of novel digital technologies in various domains. In this sense, he is interested in designing for but also together with potential end-users and stakeholders. In the heath domain, Cristiano studied self-care practices and technologies in chronic-care, especially diabetes in both adults and children. More recently, he has developed an interest in neurodiversity and inclusion. He is one of the funding members of the Autism@UL Special Interest group (ULautismsig.ul.ie). He is currently working on Contact Tracing (with LERO), and on a Public and Patient Involvement initiative aimed at mapping how the UL campus is experienced by those availing of it.
