Dario Rodighiero is a postdoctoral associate at MIT Comparative Media Studies and a research affiliate at EPFL Digital Humanities Laboratory. The Swiss National Science Foundation is currently funding his position. He combines humanities and technology through design by working on different projects related to architecture, art, computer science, data visualization, graphic design, human geography, museology, philosophy, and science and technology studies. Currently Dario maps the academic dynamics by tackling the problem at different scales. After the publication of the Affinity Map (1), he is currently working on the MIT cartography and a global map of research using the ORCID data. With this regard, he is interested in the intimate relationship between data visualization and its readers, and in transforming these visualization into a service for scholarly mobility. Dario attended the program of Architecture and Sciences of the City, receiving a PhD from EPFL. His doctorate was advised by professors Frédéric Kaplan and Boris Beaude, while the dean Marilyne Andersen financed his studies. Formerly he joined the Médialab of Sciences Po led by Prof. Bruno Latour, has been a scientist at the European Commission, and a research assistant at the University of Milano-Bicocca.
