Joao Costa
I am a Ph.D. Student at the GAMERLab (Games And Media Entertainment Research Laboratory) at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT), Canada. I work under the supervision of Dr. Lennart Nacke and Dr. Regan Mandryk, focusing on Novel Game Interaction Technologies and Immersive Game Design. I love board games and video games, and I am currently looking into physiological evaluation and novel sensors for game interaction for pervasive gaming. I hold a Master’s degree in Computer Science from the University of Lisbon – Portugal and have worked in the Poeticon++ Research (EU FP7) European Robotics Project at VisLab – IST – Portugal, before starting my adventure in Canada.
