Bio

My name is Simon Egenfeldt-Nielsen (PhD, Psychologist). I am the CEO of Serious Games interactive a company with more than 15 employees dedicated to games that are more than entertainment. Over the years I have jumped between research and industry. This blog aims to cross the divide between research and praxis but with a focus on how to get tangible and clear progress in the field of game-based learning.  

I did a PhD on the educational use of computer games and after that led a 2 years long research project within the same field. I have studied, researched and worked with computer games for more than 10 years. Over the years I has been involved in developing more than 10 computer games.

I have served on the Digital Game Research Association Board for 3 years, co-founded Game-research.com and authored four books on video games. I regularly gives talks around the world.
