Short presentation
I am interested in understanding interaction as an existential practice through which humans, objects, and meaning emerge as results of ongoing reconfigurations of socio-material structures.
I have mainly worked within a poststructuralist philosophical tradition, but have recently become interested in dispositionalism and how the potentialities of human and non-human entities can be understood as sources of agency.
I am also the Director of Studies for Human-Computer Interaction.
