Fabio Stano

Doctoral Researcher in Human–Computer Interaction and Information Systems at the Institute of Information Systems and Marketing (IISM), Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT).

Profile

I research adaptive information systems at the intersection of NeuroIS, biosignals, and digital well-being. My work explores how physiological data such as EEG, EDA, and ECG can be used to design systems that support user performance and well-being in knowledge work.

Alongside academic research, I produce music in my own studio and work with media arts—creative practices that shape my perspective on interaction, perception, and experience design.
