iGGi Partners We are excited to be collaborating with a number of industry partners. IGGI works with industry in some of the following ways: Student Industry Knowledge Transfer - this can take many forms, from what looks like a traditional placement, to a short term consultancy, to an ongoing relationship between the student and their industry partner. Student Sponsorship - for some of our students, their relationship with their industry partner is reinforced by sponsorship from the company. This is an excellent demonstration of the strength of the commitment and the success of the collaborations. In Kind Contributions - IGGI industry partners can contribute by attending and/or featuring in our annual conference, offering their time to give talks and masterclasses for our students, or even taking part in our annual game jam! There are many ways for our industry partners to work with IGGI. If you are interested in becoming involved, please do contact us so we can discuss what might be suitable for you.

< Back Dr Thryn Henderson University of York iGGi Alum Thryn’s phd explored the practices of personal vignette games, with a particular interest in the vignette game’s approaches to digital persona, their roots in approachable DIY culture, and their importance to marginalised creators. Publications from their work can be found in the Digra 2020 archive and Persona Studies Volume 6, Issue 2 . Thryn’s interest in gaming grows from a delight in telling stories. They endeavour to find the spaces where play incorporates and encourages collaborative narrative, poetry, theatre, activism, subversion, surprise and expression. Most of Thryn’s work in playful media can be found in zines, cardboard installations, paper games, hidden screens, or roaming through the woods around the UK. They are a co-founder of the playful design co-operative Furtive Shambles, currently producing experimental live and tabletop game experiences. thrynhenderson@gmail.com Email Mastodon https://furtiveshambles.com Other links Website LinkedIn Twitter Github Themes Design & Development - Previous Next

< Back Prof. Mark Sandler Queen Mary University of London Supervisor Queen Mary University of London, Centre for Digital Music, School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science. Mark Sandler has been doing research in audio and music – with a little computer vision as a side line – for over 40 years. He founded the world-leading Centre for Digital Music and has been its Director since 2003 (with a 4 year gap 2010-14). The Centre is now one of the largest such research groupings in the world, with around 80 PhDs, PDRAs and academics. In his early career he invented the Digital Power Amplifier, researched Drum Analysis and Synthesis for Simmons Electronics Ltd, moving into Fractal and Chaos analysis and synthesis, Ambisonic modelling and Fine Grain Audio Compression before becoming one of the pioneers of Music Information Retrieval around 2000. He is a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, of the IEEE, the IET and the AES. He is also a Fellow of the Alan Turing Institute. He has supervised over 40 PhD candidates successfully through their studies and is currently involved in four other CDTs at QM - in AI and Music (Co-Investigator, Impact, in Data Centric Engineering (Co-Director, Partnerships), in Data-centric Engineering (Director) and Media & Arts Technology (of which he was founding Director 2009-16). Research interests are: Digital Signal Processing, Digital Audio, Digital Music Technology, Music Informatics, Semantic Audio, Music Data Science, Semantic Music Metadata, Auditory User Interaction, Immersive Audio. He is particularly interested in supervising students with a background in Acoustics, Signal Processing, Audio, Machine/Deep Learning in: Virtual acoustics for games Games engines for virtual and augmented reality music experiences Research themes: Games Engines for non-gaming interactive experiences Game Audio and Music mark.sandler@qmul.ac.uk Email Mastodon https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-sandler-a689b4/ Other links Website LinkedIn https://twitter.com/@markbsandler Twitter Github Themes Game Audio - Previous Next

< Back Dr Cade McCall University of York Supervisor Cade McCall is an experimental psychologist. He uses games and virtual environments to study emotion, cognition, and behaviour during threatening experiences. His work explores how threat unfolds over time as revealed by dynamics in motion tracking data, psychophysiological measures, and experience-sampling. McCall is interested in supervising projects with a psychological focus, including: ● human interactions with autonomous systems ● the use of games to manipulate emotions ● social interactions within games Research themes: Games with a purpose Player experience Game analytics cade.mccall@york.ac.uk Email Mastodon https://www.york.ac.uk/psychology/staff/academicstaff/cm1582/#research-content Other links Website LinkedIn Twitter Github Themes Applied Games Game Data Player Research - Previous Next
