Rosheena Bove
Bio: Rosheena is from Huntsville, Alabama and hopes to graduate in Spring 2015 with a Master’s in HCI. She became interested in HCI after she was hired on as a Visual Designer of a User Experience team. She found interaction design and HCI very interesting and decided to pursue a degree in the field to learn more and gain more experience. She is very interested in researching the cognitive aspects of HCI and how the mental models of various user generations effect the design process and experimental design. In the future, Rosheena would like to do more work with different types of products and would like to be involved in the interaction and visual design processes.

Heather Longoria
Bio: Heather Longoria works full-time as a Business Analyst for a bank holding company in the Quad Cities. She is a student in the HCI – Masters Certificate program. She is interested in this program because as a business analyst, she works with stakeholders within the company to document processes and to define requirements for systems and applications to improve efficiency. Heather is hoping that the training she receives in the HCI program will enable her to better understand the needs of the stakeholders as well as help her to provide insight to the developers as they create applications, so that they can build tools that truly meet the needs of the users and that are easy-to-use. Her future goals include using the knowledge gained in this program to continue to enhance and improve the development processes at the company.

Thomas Parham
Bio: Thomas is an Iowa native, raised just up the road from Ames in the small town of Nevada. He is currently a graduate student at Iowa State pursuing a PhD in Geological and Atmospheric Sciences. His research focuses on geoscience education, particularly the development and evaluation of technology-driven resources for inquiry-based teaching in large lecture format classes, lab sections, and online courses. His dissertation involves the development and critical evaluation of a Virtual Volcano platform in multiple learning contexts. While the complex dynamics of geoscientific phenomena and processes make interactive computer simulations very appealing, the geoscience education community has not yet established a best-practices framework for developing and incorporating these powerful resources. By participating in the HCI program, he hopes to gain a richer understanding of how the human factor can (and should) affect the development of simulations and other computer-based teaching resources from inception to dissemination.
