Francesco Cafaro is an Associate Professor of Human–Computer Interaction at the Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering, Indiana University Indianapolis, USA. His work is centered on designing novel interaction techniques that people can use to explore data visualizations in informal learning settings. He investigates how theories from the learning, cognitive, and computer sciences can provide the scaffolding for the design of intuitive, embodied interactions. Dr. Cafaro obtained his “Laurea” degree (equivalent to BS) and “Laurea Specialistica” degree (equivalent to MS) in Engineering of Computing Systems from the Politecnico di Milano, Italy, in 2006 and 2008, respectively, and his MS and PhD degrees in Computer Science from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2009 and 2015, respectively.
