I am an Associate Professor in the Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University, and I earned my PhD in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington. My work focuses on video games, procedural content generation, citizen science, and crowdsourcing. I am co-creator of Foldit, a video game that has allowed players to contribute to scientific research in biochemistry. I have previously worked at Square Enix, Electronic Arts, and Pixar Animation Studios, and as the Creative Director of the Center for Game Science.
