Dr. Franceli L. Cibrian is an Assistant Professor at the Fowler School of Engineering at Chapman University in Orange, California. She belongs to the Nacional Science System from Mexico, given by Conacyt. She did her postdoctoral training in the STAR lab of Dr. Gillian Hayes at UC Irvine. She received her Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Center for Scientific Research and Higher Education (CICESE) in Mexico, where she worked under the supervision of Dr. Monica Tentori. She has a background in computer system engineering and a minor in software engineering. Her research interests focus on the design, development, and evaluation of ubiquitous interactive technology to support the development of children, particularly children with special needs. She has experience in human-computer interaction and interaction design, with a specific focus on interactive surfaces and educational and therapeutic interventions for children. She has also done research stays at the Design Lab at UC San Diego under the supervision of Dr. Nadir Weibel and in the UCL Interaction Center at University College London (UCL) under the supervision of Dr. Nadia Berthouze.Dr. Gillian R. Hayes is the Robert A. and Barbara L. Kleist Professor of Informatics at the University of California, Irvine, in the Department of Informatics in the School of Information and Computer Sciences, in the Department of Pediatrics in the School of Medicine, and in the School of Education. Dr. Hayes is also the Vice Provost for Graduate Education and Dean of the Graduate Division at the University of California, Irvine. She is an alumna of Vanderbilt University and the Georgia Institute of Technology. For 15 years, her research has focused on designing, developing, and evaluating technologies in support of vulnerable populations, including those with autism. Building on a background in computer science and a consulting career before academia, she focuses on methods for including people not traditionally representedin
