I completed my Ph.D. at the MIT Lab. for Computer Science, in the Spoken Language Systems Group.
My research at MIT was about natural language processing and the discourse structure of information-seeking telephone conversations. For my doctoral thesis I developed Nb, a novel discourse annotation tool.
At MIT, I developed the Italian version of Voyager and contributed to WebGalaxy. Voyarer and WebGalaxy are interactive kiosks that use maps, speech recognition and speech synthesis to deliver tourist information and directions. My advisor at MIT is Victor Zue.
I hold a M.Eng. (Laurea) from the University of Rome in Electronic Engineering and a M.S. from McGill University in Computer Science.
