Guarionex SaliviaFaculty
I received a Masters of Science degree in Mathematics and a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Computer Science, both at the University of Iowa. My primary research interests are in the area of Human Computer Interaction and Assistive Technologies. My teaching interests include human computer interaction, game design & development, computational theory, algorithms and introduction to programming.
I love outdoor sports such as snorkeling, rock climbing, cross-country skiing and kayaking, as well as team sports like baseball and soccer. My other passion is playing games, including board games and video games. If you wish to know more about my research and personal interests please visit my page at
