Lennart Nacke's Linkedin Analytics

I am a tenured University Research Chair and Full Professor with 20+ years of research and teaching experience in user experience (UX) design and research focused on gamification, human-computer interaction, and generative artificial intelligence (AI). My Ph.D. research was on the scientific measurement of UX in interactive entertainment. I direct a research group and a graduate degree program at the University of Waterloo, Stratford School of Interaction Design and Business. I'm also a solopreneur and online creator, helping early-career researchers to unlock their full potential. I have written 300+ research papers (and counting), edited the major games user research book and several high-impact conference proceedings, started a top-tier academic conference series that is now a journal (CHI PLAY), and started companies for UX research and online training. My research programmes have been funded with millions of dollars over the past decade through joint funding from major companies and the Canadian government. Many of my papers have won best paper awards and have hundreds of citations. In addition, I run newsletters, a podcast, write daily on social media, and am fascinated by scientific copywriting. Besides my academic work, my mission is to make the world a better place by creating more enjoyable experiences with technology and translating academic insights into actionable strategies for everyone.
