Ivonne Monarca, is currently working toward the Ph.D. degree with the Computer Science Department,CICESE. Her research interests include HCI, Ubicomp, assistive technology, pervasive healthcare, and machine learning.
I have a background in Computer Science, I have experience in human-computer interaction and interaction design, with a specific focus on interactive surfaces, voice assistants, and haptic interfaces.
My research focused on how the interactions with natural user interfaces can uncover digital markers to support the screening of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. I am looking at if the affordances of such natural interfaces can reveal unknown and unmeasurable “red flags” or behaviors that are atypical for children and are more distinctive of children with autism.
When I’m not working, I really enjoy running or walking around the city, you ca watch a video about me in YT, I like K-pop and K-dramas.

Found me at 415 Computer Science Department, CICESE, Ensenada, BC
