Areas of interests: cognitive science, external representations, interactive learning environments, HCI, tactile graphics, cognitive learning analytics and AI.

I studied Computer Science at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). There, I focused on several topics, such as artificial intelligence, semantic web, knowledge representation, graph theory and analysis of algorithms.

After working as a software developer, I decided to continue my studies abroad. I was granted a scholarship from CONACyT to obtain a PhD in Cognitive Science at Sussex University under the supervision of Dr Richard Cox and Prof. Peter Cheng. My PhD focus was on supporting young students maths knowledge through interactive learning environments.

Currently, I am working in industry and academia. My job in industry entails planning and executing web usability and UX studies, with a particular focus on cultural differences. My academic job as a Research Fellow is for the projects: Cognitive Science of Tactile Graphics (Departments of Informatics and Psychology at Sussex University); Cognitive Learning Analytics (collaboration between Sussex University and ETS); and "How to Re-Represent it?" (Sussex University and Cambridge University).
