About us

GIULIA BINI (Principal Investigator)
Giulia Bini is a researcher in Mathematics Education at the Department of Mathematics “Federigo Enriques” at the University of Milan (Italy). She investigates the interaction between mathematical and digital cultures, focusing on inclusivity and creativity in mathematics teaching, the representation of mathematical concepts, and the role of visualization and digital tools in enhancing the learning experience. She has published her research in various national and international scientific journals, including Educational Studies in Mathematics, International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, and International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology. One of her contributions on the role of digital culture in mathematics education is featured in the recent Springer Handbook of Digital Resources in Mathematics Education.

SARA GAGLIANI CAPUTO
Sara Gagliani Caputo is a PhD candidate at the “Federigo Enriques” Department of Mathematics at the University of Milan, conducting research in mathematics education. Her research focuses on investigating the use of digital technologies as a tool to support mathematical discussions both in the classroom and in asynchronous settings. Specifically, she is interested in the teaching-learning dynamics that take place in digital environments within the context of mathematical discussions, in relation to the collaborative dynamics realised by students under the guidance of the teacher.

MARTA CRIPPA
Marta Crippa holds a scholarship for the continuation of training for promising graduates at the “Federigo Enriques” Department of Mathematics at the University of Milan. She recently graduated with a thesis in Mathematics Education, which investigates, from an interdisciplinary perspective between mathematics and computer science, the use of algorithms and strategies in problem-solving activities. Specifically, her thesis work also included the design of interdisciplinary laboratory activities, their experimentation, and allowed her to carry out field research by collecting data on topics such as mathematical discussion, algorithmic thinking from an interdisciplinary perspective, and self-assessment/assessment in laboratory-based mathematics activities.

DIEGO CECCOBELLI (CUD)
Diego Ceccobelli is Senior Assistant Professor in the Department of Social and Political Sciences at the University of Milan (Italy). He has published extensively in the fields of political communication, comparative politics, social movements, media, journalism, and leadership studies in international journals, including International Journal of Press/Politics, Journal of Political Marketing, European Journal of Communication, Journal of Information Technology & Politics, and Journalism Practice. His last book is Activists in The Data Stream. The Practices of Daily Grassroots Politics in Southern Europe (with Alice Mattoni).
