Biography

Ricardo Jimenez, Ph.D. (Nova Southeastern University, Computer Information Sciences), is currently the department chair of the Mathematics and Computer Science Department. Dr. Jimenez is also the Associate Dean of Undergraduate Studies for the College of Arts and Sciences. His current area of research is Haptics, which is the study of the use of the sense of touch in Human-Computer Interaction. His current research focuses on the development of a vibrotactile belt which aids in blind waypoint navigation.

Dr. Jimenez is a council member of the Florida Academy of Science where he chairs the Computer Science and Mathematics section. He is also a board member of the NAF STEM Advisory Board which works towards promoting STEM education throughout Miami-Dade Public Schools.

Dr. Jimenez is involved in a variety of community service projects most notable of which is addressing the Digital Divide issues throughout the local community. He created a service-learning course in which students refurbish donated computers and place in various local community centers. Throughout the years and with the collaboration of many students, over 300 computers have been placed in the community.

In the classroom, Dr. Jimenez teaches a variety of courses in programming, database, and security as well as engaging students in undergraduate research which has culminated in presentations at local, regional, national, and international academic venues, as well as, publications in journals and conference proceedings.
