In my research projects, I integrate traditional scientific methodologies—both qualitative and quantitative—with modern creative strategies, such as choreographic and improvisational approaches, and pragmatic business solutions including product design and innovation management.

• Fundamentals of Communication Science – introducing key mechanisms of message transmission and reception,
