Dr. Manuel A. Perez-Quinones

I am Associate Professor and Associate Department Head for Graduate Studies in the Department of Computer Science at Virginia Tech. I am originally from Puerto Rico but now reside in the beautiful mountains of southwest Virginia. In this website, you can find information about my work, some of my personal hobbies, and other random and useless pieces of information. You can hear how my name is pronounced, click read more to hear it.

How to pronounce my name

Click on the play triangle in the middle to hear a pronunciation of my first name and my surnames. The link on the right goes to Forvo to see regional variations in pronunciation of my name.

How to write my name

My second surname has an S at the end, not a Z. There is a typo in my social security card and thus Virginia Tech has me as Quiñonez... but the real spelling (as shown in my birth certificate and as used by my whole family) is Quiñones.

If your software doesn’t allow you to copy/paste my name, you can type the characters in directly as follows: On a Macintosh, press Option (?) e followed by e to get the é. Press Option n followed by n to get the ñ. If you have a Windows computer, then for the é, press down the ALT key, type 0233 on the numeric key pad at the right edge of the keyboard. To get the ñ, press down the ALT key, type 0241 on the numeric key pad at the right edge of the keyboard. The character will appear when you let up the ALT key. If you don’t have a numeric keypad, then read the alternate instructions on the URL below.

I also have a writeup about my two last names here on the site.
