Alan De Piccolo

Alan is a post-doc Research Fellow at the Center for the Humanities and Social Change at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice since December 2017. He received the Ph.D. degree in Computer Sciences from the Ca’ Foscari University in 2018. Alan’s core research interest is in the discipline of Human-Computer Interaction, specifically in the use of multisensory feedback to facilitate and enrich the interaction with digital artifacts. His current work pertains the digital dissemination of the Creative Europe project “Shakespeare In and Beyond the Ghetto”, 2016-2018 (http://shabegh.eu/), which dealt with Shakespeare’s play The Merchant of Venice. The goal is to provide scholars and nonprofessionals with the access to the multimedia material generated during the project, and by doing so enable a further investigation of the play’s topics, which are as relevant as ever.
