Jorge Toro is a Human Computer Interaction Engineer at Morse Corp in Cambridge, MA. He is actively involved in the design and development of interactive systems for personnel in the DoD (both military and civilian).  His professional interests are in the areas of User Interfaces, User Experience, Information Architecture, Human Factors, Human Computer Interaction and any other field associated with the creation of usable, efficient and effective user interfaces for people.

After finishing his Ph.D. in 2005 at DePaul University in Chicago, IL, Jorge moved to Boston where worked as a Software Engineer at VT MAK in Cambridge, MA. After a few years in the software development arena and given his deep interest in HCI, Jorge joined the team at ICS in Waltham, MA where he worked as a UX Engineering consultant. During his tenure at ICS, Jorge provided consulting services to a variety of companies including Shell, Intel, Panasonic, Microsoft, and Electrolux. After ICS, Jorge worked as a HCI Engineer at Shell Techworks in Cambridge, MA, where he worked in various multidisciplinary projects for the Oil & Gas industry focusing primarily on user requirement elicitation, user safety, user interface design, and feasibility studies.

Jorge has also lectured undergraduate and graduate level courses in Human Computer Interaction, Computer Science and Computer Graphics. He holds a BS and MS in Computer Science, a MS in Human Computer Interaction and a Ph.D. in Computer Science with concentrations in Software Engineering, Human Computer Interaction, and Computer Graphics. 

A native from Colombia and loyal coffee drinker, Jorge is a sworn enemy of fruit flies!
