Hey there, I am Matteo!

🏫 I am a first-year PhD candidate at the University of Melbourne, in the Faculty of Engineering and Information Systems.

🔬 Currently investigating automatic venues of frame detection in news coverage of contemporary polarizing issues, supervised by Prof. Lea Frermann, Prof. Ed Hovy and Dr. Yulia Otmakhova.

👨‍💻 Previously, I have completed a Masters in Speech and Language Processing at the University of Konstanz.

📚 My research focuses on investigating automatic methods for detecting framing in news coverage of contemporary polarizing issues.

📊 I am particularly interested in the analysis of polarisation, fake news, misinformation, disinformation, propaganda, radicalisation — essentially, anything that involves understanding human behavior and societal dynamics through the lens of NLP.
