Embrace the power of play
I am a Professor and the Research Director of the HCI Games Group at the University of Waterloo in Canada. I completed my Ph.D. on the fun and user experience of gaming.
I have edited a textbook on Games User Research and authored hundreds of academic articles in gamification, user experience research, human-computer interaction, and game design.
My research is widely discussed and recognized by the New Yorker, Forbes, MIT Technology Review, CTV News, New Scientist, The Daily Mail, PC Gamer Magazine, and other media outlets.
My Google Scholar profile and the HCI Games Group publications show my latest research. I also have a gameful design and user experience research and training company called MotiviUX, Inc.

I enjoyed @acagamic (Lennart Nacke)'s webinar on how to run user research studies for games so much (watch it at https://t.co/NMjO1pFMiH) that I immediately signed up for his short course (4 Fridays x 1 hr, $100). 1/2

Learned a ton about gameful design heuristics from @acagamic and @GustavoTondello. Excited to bring these ideas back to Michigan! #chi2017
