Biography

Francesca Zermiani is a PhD student in the International Max Planck Research School for Intelligent Systems (IMPRS-IS) since February 2021, jointly supervised with Jun.-Prof. Maria Wirzberger. Francesca holds a Bachelor’s degree in Language Studies from Ca’ Foscari University of Venice (Italy) and a Master’s degree in Cognitive Science from Lund University (Sweden). Her research interests include educational technologies, eye tracking and attentional processes, as well as attention disorders (ADHD). Besides, she worked as a research intern within the field of Computational Linguistics. Her current research focuses on investigating individual differences in resumption strategies. In particular, she is interested in developing eye-based techniques to support students in resuming interrupted tasks.
