About

My interdisciplinary research explores AI's role at the boundary between information and disinformation, examining professional practices through ethical and epistemological framing, user experience (HCI) and information quality/integrity. I hold a Master's and PhD in Information and Communication Science and Technology from the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB), and I'm currently a postdoctoral researcher in the MSCA COFUND LEAD AI programme at the Department of Information Science and Media Studies, University of Bergen (UiB). Since 2021, I have also been engaged with the Nordic Observatory for Digital Media and Information Disorder (NORDIS) hub. My current research (F.A.C.T. project) examines epistemic instability in AI-mediated journalism and what this means for verification, trust, and responsible AI in newsrooms.
