Senior Researcher at IIT-CNR in Pisa, Italy. I am a computer engineer working at the intersection of the Web, society, and artificial intelligence. My research lies in social computing and computational social science, where I study how online platforms shape information flows and collective behavior. I focus in particular on content moderation, coordinated online activity, and the ways people use generative AI technologies. My work explores how algorithmic systems and emerging AI tools interact with online social environments, and what their adoption means for the future of the Web and its societal impact.Stefano Cresci, Ph.D.
