Dr. Cibrian has been a proud member of ACM since before her professorship at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chapman University<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. ACM is one of the world\u2019s largest professional societies for computing, and strives to raise awareness of computing\u2019s technical, educational, and social issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cReceiving ACM Senior Member recognition is deeply meaningful to me because it affirms my identity and contributions as a computer scientist,\u201d Dr. Franceli said. \u201cBeing recognized by ACM reinforces that human-centered computing is rigorous computer science and validates that this work belongs squarely within the CS and engineering communities.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Progressing to Senior Membership<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Senior Members Grade recognizes ACM members who have held at least 10 years of professional experience, at least 5 years of Professional Membership in the last 10 years, and demonstrated performance through \u201ctechnical leadership, and technical or professional contributions,\u201d according to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/awards.acm.org\/senior-members\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ACM Senior Member Grade<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> requirements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Additionally, the recognition is nomination-based, relying not only on the individual\u2019s research contributions but also on the collective support from their colleagues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cOn a personal level, ACM has been part of my journey since my undergraduate years in Computer Systems Engineering,\u201d Dr. Cibrian said. \u201cAfter all this time, this recognition resonates because I chose to focus on what I consider one of the hardest problems in computing: how humans interact with systems, how technology shapes behavior and opportunity, and how we can design technologies that are effective, ethical, and adoptable in the real world.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Commitment to Human-Centered Computing Research<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As a mentor, faculty member, and researcher, Dr. Franceli has led multiple initiatives to improve and evaluate interactive technology, specifically geared toward supporting child development. Dr. Franceli explained her enthusiasm for how this recognition relates to her current career at Chapman.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThis recognition is especially meaningful at a primarily undergraduate institution, where building a strong research pipeline requires intensive mentorship and hands-on training,\u201d Dr. Cibrian said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Cibrian also noted that this membership would not have been possible without FSE\u2019s support, specifically mentioning their strong commitment to delivering quality research.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI\u2019m grateful to the Fowler School of Engineering and Chapman University for supporting a culture where teaching, research, and mentorship reinforce each other, and where impactful, human-centered computing is valued and celebrated,\u201d Dr. Franceli said. \u201cI\u2019m proud that students in my lab contribute across the full research lifecycle and gain experiences that shape their confidence and future careers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1187\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1187\" style=\"width: 580px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1187\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/02\/Cibrian-Research.png\" alt=\"Dr. Franceli Cibrian with research students.\" width=\"580\" height=\"321\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/02\/Cibrian-Research.png 740w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/02\/Cibrian-Research-300x166.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1187\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dr. Cibrian with her student researchers at the Student Scholar Symposium.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><b>The Core Values of Teaching Human-Computer Interaction<\/b><\/h3>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\" data-ogsc=\"rgb(0, 0, 0)\">Previously, Dr. Franceli has been awarded grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to advance research in Human-Computer Interaction.

engineering and computer science problems,\u201d Dr. Franceli said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Cibrian further explains her commitment to teaching students to be well-versed

broad literature and resources ACM offers that I use as a part of my courses, to teach state of the art knowledge, and at the same time, bring values that are important such as the ACM Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct, so students learn not only how to build cutting-edge technologies but also how to build them thoughtfully, responsibly, and with real human outcomes in mind,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Looking Towards the Future with ACM<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After obtaining Senior Grade membership, Dr. Franceli hopes to use ACM\u2019s

She also highlights the importance of core requirements within Chapman\u2019s engineering curriculum, which focus on the non-technical aspects and skills of engineering.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI hope to use this recognition to expand student-driven research opportunities at Chapman and strengthen collaborations that allow our work to translate into real-world deployments in schools, clinics, and communities,\u201d Dr. Cibrian said. \u201cI also want to continue advocating within CS and engineering that usability, accessibility, and ethics are not \u2018extras,\u2019 but core technical requirements, especially as we design AI-driven systems that affect people\u2019s lives.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In other aspects of this award, Dr. Cibrian aspires to instill confidence and courage in her students, especially those navigating their own computing journeys.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI hope this milestone serves as a visible reminder to students who may wonder whether they belong in computing that there are many valid paths to becoming a computer scientist and engineer, and that they can succeed, lead, and make a meaningful impact.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Learn more about <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/our-faculty\/franceli-cibrian.aspx\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Cibrian\u2019s recent contributions and ongoing research projects<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.
