Hello, and welcome to Research in Ink! My name is Andrea Esposito, and I’m excited to begin this journey with you. As a Computer Science research fellow currently pursuing a PhD in Computer Science and Mathematics, my work focuses on Human-Centered AI—a fascinating area at the crossroads of Human-Computer Interaction and Artificial Intelligence.
But this blog isn’t just about research. It’s also about the person behind the work. When I’m not immersed in algorithms or writing academic papers, you’ll find me exploring my love for photography, curating my collection of fountain pens, and indulging in the tactile joy of stationery. These passions, along with my academic pursuits, inspire the stories and ideas I’ll share here.

What You’ll Find on Research in Ink
This blog is a reflection of my dual identity: part researcher, part creative enthusiast. Here, you can expect posts about:
- PhD Life and Research Insights: Behind-the-scenes glimpses into the life of a researcher, from navigating challenges to celebrating breakthroughs.
- Human-Centered AI: Exploring the intersection of technology and humanity, focusing on making AI systems transparent, ethical, and symbiotic.
- The Analog World: Thoughtful musings on the art of writing, fountain pens, and how analog tools continue to thrive in our digital age.
- Personal Growth and Reflection: Lessons learned along the way, whether in academia, creativity, or life in general.
I aim to make this space engaging, thought-provoking, and inclusive. Whether you’re a fellow researcher, a stationery enthusiast, or simply curious about these topics, there will be something here for you.
A Quick Note on Content
All the ideas and opinions shared on this blog are my own unless explicitly stated otherwise. My goal is to provide authentic perspectives and honest reflections. If I cite or discuss external sources, I’ll make that clear.
Why Research in Ink?
The name captures what this blog is all about: a blend of intellectual exploration (research) and my enduring appreciation for the analog world (ink). It symbolizes the interplay between ideas and creativity, between the digital and the tangible, that defines much of my life.
Let’s Start the Conversation
I hope this blog sparks discussions, inspires ideas, and maybe even encourages you to pick up a fountain pen or “dive deeper” into the world of AI (I deliberately chose these words, as they seem to be a favorite of ChatGPT!). Feel free to connect, comment, and share your thoughts—I’d love to hear from you.
Thank you for stopping by. Let’s embark on this journey together, one word at a time.
Warm regards,
Andrea Esposito

I do believe that you ought to write more about this issue, it might not be
a taboo matter but generally folks don’t talk about
these topics. To the next! Many thanks!!
