Emmanuele (also known as "Tido!") completed a BA and a two-year MSc at Bologna University and a PhD at Sapienza University of Rome. After a career-break in 2018, he joined the University of Hull in March 2019 and in October 2023 he joined the University of Leeds where he leads as Principal Investigator the Human Technology Laboratory.
Since childhood he wondered about the underlining processes allowing people to think about them and others as intentional agents. Now, he uses behavioural and neuroscientific techniques to provide answers that will be useful for interacting with autonomous devices.
As a scientist and a person he owes much to the people he works with. He is always ready to learn from his collaborators and he is always looking forward working together with passioned people.
