Biography

Federico Gobbo studied Communication and New Media at the University of Torino, Italy, obtaining his Master's degree in 1997. He then worked as a Laboratory Assistant at the University of Milano, Italy, in a post-Master's program related to Digital Humanities. Gobbo received an Italian research grant for e-learning at the University of Insubria, Varese-Como, Italy, where he completed his PhD in Computer Science in 2009 with a dissertation on adpositional grammars. His research interests lie primarily in the fields of Linguistics and Philosophy of Computing, with a special focus on artificial languages, especially planned languages and International Auxiliary Languages (IALs) like Esperanto and Volapük, as well as fictional languages like Klingon. Gobbo also examines sociolinguistic traits of lesser-used minority languages and is involved in the revitalization and promotion of these languages. He addresses issues related to multilingualism, Language Policy Planning (LPP), and the integration of language rights in the information society. Since 2014, he has been affiliated with the University of Amsterdam, while also holding positions at various Italian universities since 2011. Gobbo has received several grants for research related to linguistics and education sciences and is actively engaged in the academic community as an editor and honorary adjunct in Cybernetics.
