About

Silvia Mirri is a leading researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, assistive technologies, and pervasive computing. Her work focuses on designing inclusive digital experiences for vulnerable populations, including the elderly, children, and people with disabilities. Mirri’s most-cited paper, “Human-Drone Interaction” (2019, 40 citations), explores user experience with unmanned aerial vehicles, pioneering frameworks for safe and intuitive drone interfaces. She also advances IoT-enabled assistive systems, as seen in her 2024 work on UWB-based automatic tracking for elderly and disabled individuals (6 citations), which addresses real-time localization challenges. Mirri is equally dedicated to educational technology: her 2016 mobile serious game “MecWilly in your pocket” (6 citations) uses socio-cognitive conflict to teach children topographical orientation and recycling, while her 2020 study on educational robots and tablets (3 citations) improves wayfinding skills. Across these contributions, Mirri demonstrates a rare ability to merge technical rigor with social impact, creating tools that empower diverse users. Her research has been recognized for its practical applications in aging societies and inclusive design, making her a vital voice in accessible computing.
