Hello everybody, it's Michele here, from Milan, Italy.

I love to intertwine ideas from different thinkers, and try to find hidden, unexpected connections between disciplines, arts and languages of communication.

I immediately felt at home in this community, and would like to contribute as much as I can to develop its network.

I speak English, German, and Italian.

About me:

I'm a contract professor in Media Ecology at the IULM University in Milan, a social entrepreneur, and papa of 2 kids.

I’m carrying on my research interconnecting different fields: systems thinking, organizational learning, deep ecology, media ecology, cybernetics, systemic leadership, complexity management, the study of communicative and relational patterns, the evolution of media and technology, in particular social networks, algorithms, and their impacts on cognition, communication, social relations and decision-making.

In 2021 I founded an innovative startup that won the Award of the Municipality of Milan “Smart City 2020”: Bridged, a collaborative fundraising and social network platform designed to facilitate the emergence of collaborative relationships between companies and NGOs, oriented to eco-design and implementation of urban regeneration projects with social and environmental impact, based on the 17 SDGs, the Goals for Sustainability of the UN 2030 Agenda.

MAIN AREAS OF INTEREST: Systems theory, Systems dynamics, Deep ecology, Mechanism design, Information Theory, Complexity Theory, Non linear dynamics, Cybernetics, Eco-design, Design thinking, Media ecology, Philosophy of technology, Philosophy of science, Epistemology, Intuition.
