Retired professor status, research line “Data, web, and society,” research interests and teaching context.
Politecnico di MilanoSOURCES & EDITORIAL APPROACH
I make the connections.
I show the sources.
I’ve brought together selected publications, institutional records, and research collaborations to show the questions connecting my work. I’ve kept source links visible and noted where an interpretation goes beyond what a paper explicitly claims.

01 / My background
Start with the record.
I use institutional pages to verify biographical details, research areas, teaching history, and current affiliations.
HOC-LAB — Research
Current lab research context: educational technology, EVOLI, educational chatbots, digital storytelling, and evaluation in real contexts.
HOC-LABHOC-LAB — About
Laboratory context for cultural-heritage communication, learning technology, and the societal project on cognitive health and ageing.
HOC-LABHOC-LAB — Team and current context
The lab’s current team page lists me as Senior Scientific Advisor in Computer Science.
HOC-LABDOL — Faculty information
Additional biographical context and research areas including databases, hypertext, usability, accessibility, cultural heritage, and education.
Politecnico di MilanoHOC-LAB — Department record
Multidisciplinary remit and the relationship between methods, tools, technology-enhanced education, and cultural heritage.
Politecnico di Milano02 / Publications I selected
I follow ideas back to the papers.
Where I could find them, I link directly to DOIs, institutional repositories, and publisher records rather than repeating bibliographic details without a source.

Politecnico research repository03 / Work with colleagues
I work with other people.
Some work described here grew out of collaboration. I have tried to make that context explicit instead of presenting group projects as my work alone.
Accessible cultural-heritage websites (2004)
Research on access to educational and cultural-heritage websites.
Politecnico research repositoryPoliCultura (2009)

Politecnico research repositoryTalkyTutors / educational chatbots (2022)

Politecnico research repository HOW I’VE PUT THIS TOGETHER
Interpretation is not quotation.
The headings “I work in the spaces between information and understanding,” “I started with physics. I kept returning to people,” and “I care about what a connection makes possible” are proposed editorial framings, not quotations from my published work. The first-person copy should be reviewed before this draft is presented as my personal website.
Where I discuss HOC-LAB projects, I distinguish shared work from papers I co-authored. I link to the public records so that authorship and publication details can be checked before formal citation.
The 1974 book chapter and the note about its relationship to SQUARE/SQL came from the CV supplied for this project. I have left it labelled as a bibliographic search rather than presenting it as a definitive publisher record.
The portrait used in this concept came from an earlier project archive. Image reuse rights still need to be confirmed before public release.
Review note: this is a first-person website concept prepared from public records and supplied project materials. The proposed first-person wording and biographical claims have not been verified or approved by Paolo Paolini. Before public release, he should review the biography, research claims, and portrait permissions.
