Paolo Pilloni

Paolo Pilloni is currently a post-doc at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science of the University of Cagliari.

In 2014, he acquired a PhD in Computer Science from Cagliari University with a thesis entitled “Persuasive Mobile Systems Design to Help People be Physically Active”.

His research work is focused on Human-Computer Interaction, in particular on ubiquitous and persuasive mobile technologies to help people achieve a more active lifestyle. He is currently working on how to enhance the interaction experience during exertion by exploiting findings from the field of interaction design for people with visual impairments.
