Francesco is currently interested in the relation between images, power and social practices, with a focus on security. His current research, supported by the ERC Consolidator Grant Security Vision, focuses on artificial intelligence and the place of algorithmic socio-technical systems in the field of security, with a focus on the treatment of images (biometric identification, emotion recognition, social media content moderation).
