Gamifying engagement in spatial crowdsourcing: An exploratory mixed-methods study on gamification impact among university students (2025)
Journal Article

Citizen science now relies heavily on digital platforms to engage the public in environmental data collection. Yet, many projects face declining participation over time. This study examines the effect of three elements of gamification—points, daily s...

Empowering urban transformation: The role of citizen observatories in inclusive and data-driven governance (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper explores how Citizen Observatories can foster participatory, data-driven governance by actively engaging local communities in co-creating urban knowledge and contributing to evidence-based decision-making processes. Within the EU-funded In... Read More about Empowering urban transformation: The role of citizen observatories in inclusive and data-driven governance.

TRIST: Towards a container-based ICS testbed for cyber threat simulation and anomaly detection (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Cyber-attacks on Industrial Control Systems (ICS), as exemplified by the incidents at the Maroochy water treatment plant and the Ukraine's electric power grid, have demonstrated that cyber threats can inflict significant physical impacts. These incid... Read More about TRIST: Towards a container-based ICS testbed for cyber threat simulation and anomaly detection.
