Research
I do research at the crossroads of AI (computational intelligence, preference learning), affective computing (emotion detection, emotion annotation), advanced game technology (player experience modelling, procedural content generation, personalisation), computational creativity, and human-computer interaction (multimodal interaction, psychophysiology, user modelling).
Team
This is the team of faculty I work with and the researchers (Post-doc/PhD/research associates) I supervise at the Institute of Digital Games, University of Malta. The team has a general interest in game artificial intelligence.

My primary research interest lies in creating on-line game adaptation mechanisms that maximise the player’s entertainment. I’m interested in the construction of computational models of player experience, derived from gameplay interaction, and the use of this model for game content generation. Webpage. |
