About

Barbara Leporini is a leading researcher in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and accessible technology, with a particular focus on inclusive education and assistive interfaces. Her work centers on designing and evaluating ICT solutions that empower individuals with disabilities, especially those who are blind or visually impaired. Leporini’s major contributions include pioneering strategies for making digital learning environments more equitable, such as developing accessible e-learning platforms and touch-based interaction methods. Her most-cited paper, "ICT to Support Inclusive Education" (2020, 11 citations), synthesizes best practices for integrating technology into classrooms to accommodate diverse learners. Beyond this, she has authored influential studies on web accessibility, mobile interfaces, and non-visual interaction techniques, with cumulative citations exceeding 1,000. Leporini’s impact is evident in her role as a keynote speaker at international conferences and her leadership in EU-funded projects that bridge research and real-world application. Her work not only advances theoretical frameworks but also provides practical guidelines for developers and educators, making her a pivotal figure in the drive toward universal access in technology.
