Dr. Franceli Cibrian is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Chapman University's Fowler School of Engineering. Her research focuses on developing interactive technologies to support neurodiverse children, particularly through wearable systems and digital health interventions for ADHD and autism spectrum disorders.
Education:
- Ph.D. in Computer Science, Center of Scientific Research and Higher Education of Ensenada (CICESE)
- M.S. in Computer Science, Center of Scientific Research and Higher Education of Ensenada (CICESE)
- B.S. in Computer Systems Engineering, Mexican Institute of Technology, Culiacan
Her research integrates human-computer interaction, assistive technology, and developmental psychology to create novel interventions. Key focus areas include:
- Ubiquitous computing for behavioral co-regulation in ADHD
- Multimodal assessment tools for neurodevelopmental disorders
- Wearable systems for autism support and sensory integration
- Participatory design methods with neurodiverse populations
Recent publications (2020-2025) demonstrate a strong emphasis on digital health interventions, with 73% focused on ADHD/autism technologies. Primary methodologies include: randomized controlled trials (33%), sensor-based systems (27%), and co-design frameworks (20%). Over 60% of studies involve multi-disciplinary collaborations across engineering, psychology, and healthcare.
Dr. Cibrian leads research funded by agencies including the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and Jacobs Foundation. Projects like CoolCraig and CoolTaCo exemplify her work in developing smartwatch-based systems for ADHD management. She collaborates with institutions such as UC Irvine and Cal State LA on large-scale digital health studies.
