INFORMATICS PhD FOCUS AREA(s):
- Design, Technology and Society
My research examines the production and social impact of serious games and immersive technologies across domains including subject-matter education, prosocial behavior promotion, and simulations that invite reflection on the rule systems underlying real-world contexts. Beyond my research, I serve as a production lead in the Game Studies and Design program’s student-run game studio, where I oversee the development of serious games for educational settings. I also contribute to teaching across game studies and cinema production courses, supporting interdisciplinary inquiry into interactive media.
