Cristiano Storni holds a PhD in Information Systems and Organization at the faculty of Sociology in the University of Trento (Italy) and is now a post-doc research fellow at Interaction Design Centre. During his PhD Cristiano has studied Science and Technology Studies (STS), Actor Network Theory (ANT), Social studies of Information Systems (SSIS), Ethnography, Participatory Design and Organizational Studies. His original background is on HCI and Cognitive science (he is graduated at the University of Siena, Faculty of Communication Science). His PhD dissertation - Design in practice: on the construction of objects - is based on extensive ethnographic observations of design practices in different design domains and is based on a socio-technical multidisciplinary approach. His current research interests concern the social shaping of technology, the concept of appropriation and the future of ICT in different domains such as Health Care, web 2.0, open software and hardware. At IDC, Cristiano is leading the sociological strand in FutureComm, a national founded research program (PRTLI - FutureComm, Serving Society) aimed to explore the future of ICT services and products.

in 2009 Cristiano has been TCP member of:

• Open Design Spaces supporting User Innovation Symposium 2009 (Link)
• Multiple Way to Design Research Conference 2009 (Link)
• 2nd Irish Human Computer Interaction Conference - Dublin 2009 (Link)
• ECIS 2009 Verona (Link)

Cristiano has recently participated to the panel 'Problematizing design' hosted by NUIM anthropology department and INTEL as part of the workshop 'Ethnography, Creativity and design'.

Cristiano has recently led the workshop "Reassembling health: exploring the role of the Internet of Things" (Link)(Report here) in Brussels as part of the event 'Are you ready for the Internet of Things'.

in 2010 Cristiano will be TCP member of:

• Workshop on Pervasive healthcare in the home: Supporting patient motivation and engagement
  held in conjunction with the Pervasive Health 2010 conference, Munich, Germany
• 3rd Irish Human Computer Interaction Conference - Dublin 2010
