Riccardo is a mixed-method researcher with a decade-long experience in interdisciplinary teams investigating social hierarchies, NLP, deep learning, large language models, automated semantic analysis, overtrust in decision support systems, sociotechnical auditing of stochastic predictive and generative systems, statistical and causal benchmarks for machine learning software, also as a recipient of research scholarships from the Universities of Padova and Milano-Bicocca. They also participated in industrial software engineering, both for startups and very large publicly traded companies, and are actively involved in facilitating local community organising in Sardinia. They speak 5 languages and are mostly interested in exposing the semantic limits of algorithms as described by computatibility theory, at the intersection between heteronormativity, colonialism, production and social reproduction systems, to challenge power and seek both compensation and democratic distribution of the foundational efforts of the global chain of care.
