Hi, I'm Dario. I am a researcher in social computing based in San Francisco. I joined the Wikimedia Foundation in December 2010 as a research consultant and as of 2011 as the Senior Research Analyst with the Foundation's Strategy Team. I am in charge of product development research for the Foundation and I coordinate Wikimedia's research outreach and research-related policies via the Research Committee. Prior to joining the Foundation I was a postdoctoral researcher at University College London and at the University of Surrey in the UK.
[edit] My work at Wikimedia
Some of the Wikimedia projects that I lead or in which I am involved include:
Slides from recent talks related to my work at Wikimedia can be found here. A list of my recent publications is available on my personal homepage.
[edit] My Wikipedia contributions
I have been a Wikipedia editor since 2004. As an open source and open science advocate as well as a TeX-addict, you may occasionally find me edit articles on open access and digital typography, but most of my contributions are about London in history and architecture (see for example: Smithfield, London
).
[edit] Contact
You can contact me by email at dario@wikimedia.org or via my talk page.

[edit] Disclaimer
My work sometimes involves interacting with the Wikimedia community or using Wikimedia wikis for documentation. However, unless otherwise stated, any edit to Wikimedia projects by myself is a reversible act of a regular member of the community.
