RESEARCH/TEACHING INTERESTS

Dr. Cibrian’s research interests center around the design, development, and evaluation of ubiquitous interactive technology to support child development. She aims to understand and elucidate how technology can be used in different contexts (school, home, clinics) and modalities (individually, or collectively). Specific projects under investigation include the development of emerging technologies such as wearables, voice assistants, and deformable displays to support technological intervention for neurodiverse children.
