I am interested in games and fun; how can we make fun games and how the degree to which a game is fun can be measured.
My PhD (completed at Glasgow University in 2021) investigated the use of formal methods, specifically probabilistic model checking, as a means of game balancing. This involved the publishing of a small mobile game alongside automated verification which was then compared to how the game was actually played.
I joined Abertay in the summer of 2021 and am looking to continue my research into game balancing both advancing on the approaches used before and exploring new techniques.
I am the module leader for:
I am also supporting:
In addition to my core research on game balancing I am also interested in:
In 2015, UN member states agreed to 17 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. This person’s work contributes towards the following SDG(s):
