Geneva Smith
Postdoctoral Fellow
Geneva is a postdoctoral fellow in the HCI Games Group and TouchLab. She received her Ph.D. in Software Engineering from McMaster in 2023, where she worked in the G-ScalE Lab in the Department of Computing and Software developing methods for acknowledging and limiting subjectivity in CME development to improve their reusability, maintainability, and verifiability. The core goal of her research, funded through the Provost's Program for Interdisciplinary Postdoctoral Scholars, is to examine the relationship between the programmed system, user interaction, and a user's perception of Interactive Digital Narratives (IDNs) to guide IDN development processes and tools for satisfying pro-social learning experiences.
