Moreno Colombo

Doctor in Phenotropic Interaction

Research interests

My work has the goal of empowering people by simplifying their collaboration with technology to improve their life. This includes making people's interaction with technological systems more natural and centered on their personal preferences, and finding solutions to reduce people's carbon footprint without reducing their comfort levels. My main expertise is in applying machine learning and fuzzy logic techniques to achieve this. My research interests include:

  • Perceptual Computing
  • Human Smart Cities
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Human-Building Interaction
  • Sustainability
