Queen Mary University of London. Inventing new languages for in-game communications; studying their effects on game play and character development.

University of York.  Researches transformations in technology and media and how they reshape society and culture. This work focuses on the social power of algorithms and the politics of data and metrics.

Queen Mary University of London.  My research explores new approaches to the creation of interactive technologies for media and arts through Interaction Design techniques. It impacts the areas of Human-Computer Interaction, Creative Computing, and Design.

University of York. Music and audio artificial intelligence, encompassing analytic and generative applications, for use in games and other interactive interfaces.

University of York. A designer-researcher working on games and playful design for enjoyment, learning, wellbeing, and climate adaptation. Especially interested in curiosity in games, motivational affordances, behaviour change, design research, psychology of games, methods for entertainment and applied game design.

Queen Mary University of London. Interactive Entertainment and Intellectual Property Law scholar and Video Games enthusiast. Especially interested in the relationship among creativity, interactivity, technology and the law.

Queen Mary University of London. Game AI researcher with a focus on computational game design: how can computers help design video games? Interested in computational creativity, procedural content generation, and applications of AI in game development.

University of York. Computer graphics and vision researcher working on photo-realistic materials for games and AR/VR applications to investigate human perception of colour and materials.

Queen Mary University of London. My main interest is in Cognitive Robotics: building intelligent robots by taking inspiration from humans, and validating theories of human cognition by testing computational models on robots.

University of York. Weird x Play. Postdisciplinary researcher of playful/placeful/radical.  Not good at summaries.

University of York Robotics and AI researcher working on applied games, creative computation for healthcare and rehabilitation, trying to push the limits of what’s possible in these areas. Especially interested in designing with mixed-reality interfaces and embedding novel machine learning mechanisms for physical and cognitive behavioral changes.

Queen Mary University of London. Computational linguistics (a.k.a. natural language processing), with a particular interest in informal, conversational language and what it tells us about people’s mental states.

Queen Mary University of London. Leads the audio engineering research team; exploring disruptive innovations for the creative industries; creating, investigating and delivering transformative technologies for audio production and sound design.

Queen Mary University of London. Internationally known mathematician with top level expertise in Mathematical Logic, Bounded Arithmetic, Complexity Theory, Representation Theory, Network Coding and Information Theory.

University of York. Computer vision researcher working on machine learning for vision and vision for graphics. Especially interested in capture and modelling of realistic face and body models and 3D computer vision

University of York. Working on unconventional computing, complex systems, generative processes, artificial chemistries, open-ended evolution and novelty.

Queen Mary University of London. Physically interactive mobile and wearable games. Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR) especially in relation to improving learning and cognition. Content generation, social media and a bit of player experience thrown in for good measure.

University of York. Researching and developing new forms of storytelling and narrative experiences supported by immersive and interactive digital media aiming to innovate in form as well as in dedicated technologies, acknowledging the mutual dependency between technology and form in the research methodology. 

University of York. Using video games to probe psychology and cognitive health.
