Lennart E Nacke
Dr. Lennart Nacke is the director of the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) Games Group at the University of Waterloo. He is well known for his pioneering research on physiological evaluation and interaction in video games as well as his ground-breaking gamification research, forming a new HCI research field. He has expanded his research program with novel visualization tools for games user research, player personality models, and health game research and development.
Dr. Nacke is chairing the Games and Play subcommittee at the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI) in the HCI research field. CHI is consistently rated as the top publication venue in terms of impact in all of human-computer interaction. He is also the steering committee chair of the ACM Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction (SIGCHI) Annual Symposium on Computer-Human Interaction in Play (CHI PLAY), which he developed together with colleagues. He was invited onto the editorial board of the top journal in his field, the International Journal of Human-Computer Studies (IJHCS), as an Associate Editor and his publications have been recognized internationally for being in the top 5% at the highest impact venues for HCI on more than one occasion.
During his time as an Assistant Professor before taking an Associate Professor position at the University of Waterloo, he had been selected to chair two international conferences: Gamification 2013, which was hosted in cooperation with ACM SIGCHI, and the inaugural CHI PLAY 2014, which was co-sponsored by ACM SIGCHI. Being the General Chair of a conference for the top researchers in the HCI and games field is a great honour and a fantastic opportunity to help shape the field.
At the Games Institute, he leads the HCI Games Group, a highly interdisciplinary team of postdocs, graduate students, and undergraduates, from disciplines such as Engineering, Arts, Knowledge Integration, Biomedical Sciences, and Computer Science. His team is constantly innovating in the field of HCI and games research.
