Fabio is Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Melbourne, where he directs the Critical Ethnography Lab (CiEL). His research intersects anthropology, human-centred AI, and aviation human factors. Since 2020, Fabio has worked with pilots and aviation professionals to build intelligent systems that support, rather than replace, human judgement. He is the lead researcher and main architect of SkyOwl, an award-winning system that uses explainable AI to strengthen the aviation training pipeline. His publications include the award-winning Dark Finance (Stanford University Press, 2020), and his research has been funded by the Australian Research Council, the Australian Department of Education, and the Wenner-Gren Foundation. He previously taught at New York University and holds a PhD in Anthropology from the City University of New York Graduate Center.
