AI & Social Life →
I study how AI interacts with human judgment, relationships, and social environments, including human–LLM moral judgment, recommender systems, and artificial companionship.
AI, social computing, and human agency
I study how intelligent systems affect human cognition, judgment, relationships, and agency.
My work spans social computing, computational social science, AI ethics, and human-centred AI. I combine empirical and computational studies of human–AI interaction with technical work on adaptive, efficient, and privacy-preserving intelligent systems.
Selected research
Methods →Human Agency & Formation →
I study how digital technologies affect cognition, learning, and judgment, with current work on cognitive offloading, generative AI, and the role of practice in maintaining human skills.
Intelligent systems beyond the data centre →
I develop adaptive, resource-efficient AI for mobile and edge systems, including federated learning, privacy-preserving inference, and wearable sensing.

Projects & funded research
All projects →2026–2027
Moral Red Lines
As Principal Investigator of Moral Red Lines, I combine technical AI analysis with Catholic moral thought to examine human control, responsibility, dignity, and limits on what should be delegated to machines.
2025–present
LLM Ethical Value Alignment
I lead the development of an ethical benchmark of approximately 10,000 instructions, independently annotated by three annotators and prepared for open release through CLARIN.SI.
Jan–Jun 2026
CARDIO-FL
Completed: adaptive cardiac monitoring using wearable ECG, smartphone PPG, inertial context, on-device inference and federated learning.
