We live in a World of Growing Polarities —
Communication Science Helps Builds Bridges.
We need to be scientists, but also pragmatists.
We need to embrace technological progress without losing our humanity.
We need to think as individuals, but also confront the larger questions facing humankind.
five things about me in a nutshell:
No. 1
I’M A SCIENTIST.
My passion lies in generating new knowledge. But knowledge generation comes with responsibility. That is why methodological rigor remains my golden standard. At the heart of my work is communication — between people, across disciplines, and with the public. Communication shapes how we understand reality, make decisions, prevent harm, and build safer systems.
No. 2
I’M A BRIDGE BUILDER.
“Truth” rarely belongs to a single discipline. It emerges in the space between perspectives. That is why I build bridges across fields, sectors, and ways of knowing — connecting communication science with healthcare, safety, technology, resilience, climate discourse, and public life. Only through interdisciplinary collaboration can we begin to understand complex human challenges in their entirety.
No. 3
I’M A MOBILIZER.
Scientific knowledge matters most when it moves beyond theory into practice. I have founded and led interdisciplinary initiatives that connect science with society, including the European Institute for Safe Communication (EISCOM), the Center for the Advancement of Healthcare Quality & Patient Safety (CAHQS), and ISCOME Global Center for the Advancement of Communication Science in Healthcare.
No. 4
I’M AN ADVOCATE FOR HUMAN CONNECTION
As life becomes increasingly digital, one of the greatest challenges of our time is preserving human understanding. Technology can connect us — but it can also fragment our trust and dialogue. Shared understanding cannot simply be transmitted through information alone. The future depends on designing systems and technologies that strengthen, rather than replace, the foundations of human communication.
No. 5
I’M AN ANTHROPOLOGIST OF THE FUTURE.
The challenges facing humanity cannot be solved through technology alone. We must reconnect scientific progress with wisdom, ethics, culture, and our shared responsibility for one another. My work increasingly explores how communication can strenghten collective resilience, coexistence, safety, and the future of human societies in times of uncertainty and transformation.
