Dr. Seif El-Nasr earned her Ph.D. degree from Northwestern University in Computer Science in 2003. Her research focuses on two goals (a) developing automated tools and techniques for authoring, adapting, and personalizing virtual environments (e.g., interactive narrative, believable characters, and visuals), and (b) developing evidence-based methodologies to measure the effectiveness of game environments through the development of novel in-depth behavior mining and visual analytics tools. She worked in collaboration with several game companies both in the serious as well as the entertainment game spaces. She published the first book on the subject of game analytics, called Game Analytics: Maximizing the Value of Player Data. Her new book on Game Data Science follows her work on Game Data Science and Analytics, released October 2021. Her work is internationally known and cited in several game industry books.
