The rapid diffusion of online social networks, messaging platforms, and social virtual reality (VR) environment has transformed global communication while raising numerous concerns about privacy, misinformation, and online safety. This thesis addresses these challenges by designing and evaluating technological solutions that enhance user protection, empower individuals, and promote inclusive digital environments.
Master's Thesis - Computer Science
Design and evaluation of the Deterministic Fast-Broadcast protocol for VANETs in realistic urban environments.
Master's Thesis - Computer Science
Development of exact and heuristic methods and techniques for the equity-aware static rebalancing problem in urban e-vehicles sharing systems.
Master Thesis - Computer Science
This work conducted a comparative analysis of accessibility features and guidelines for mobile application development, and between the frameworks React Native and Flutter. The author developed an application focused on implementing accessibility features, seeking to identify similarities, differences, and potential improvements in the accessibility implementation of equivalent features between the frameworks.

Master's Thesis - Computer Science
This thesis developed a serious game in VR designed to enhance learning in mathematics through a series of mini-games that increase children's engagement. The minigames are targeted at elementary school children, and would aim to help those who manifest a learning disorder in this area. The application uses the Meta Quest 2 device. The experience created simulates a virtual classroom, in which the playing student can interact with the surrounding objects using their hands through total visual immersion. The application has been validated in several test phases with both target and non-target users, providing quantitative and qualitative results that demonstrate its effectiveness as a complementary tool in modern education.

Master's Thesis - Computer Science
The thesis implements virtual-reality simulations of real Padua transport routes to evaluate user preferences and optimize the city's mobility efficiency.
Master's Thesis - Computer Science
This thesis developed a proof of concept of a digital system (NetCare) which supports family caregivers of people with cognitive decline and connects them with each other. The main goal is to offer an effective tool to improve the caring role, but also to promote family caregivers' well-being and fight against the risk of loneliness and social isolation. NetCare offers a platform in which users can form groups, create, edit and share events, assign activities to patients and receive updates on their completion.

Master's Thesis - Computer Science
Addressing the shortcomings of monolithic Game Engines (Legacy Game Engines), by researching and implementing a distributed alternative (Distributed Game Engine), where the modules that compose the software are decoupled and hosted on different virtual containers.
Master's Thesis - Computer Science
Math functions depicted in a Cartesian plane are not accessible for people with visual impairments. The primary goal of this thesis was to develop a new tool which allows people visually impaired to learn math functions by the extensive use of sounds and touch. The author developed ad Android mobile app by using the Unity framework. Tests were conducted with students to assess the effectiveness of this work to make education, in this case in the mathematical context, accessible to everyone.
