Nadia Bianchi‐Berthouze is a full professor in affective computing and interaction at
the Interaction Centre of the University College London (UCL). She received her
PhD in computer science for biomedicine from the University of the Studies of Milan,
Italy. Her research focuses on designing technology that can sense the affective state
of its users and use that information to tailor the interaction process. She has pio-
neered the field of affective computing and for more than a decade she has investi-
gated body movement, and more recently touch behavior, as a means to recognize
and measure the quality of the user experience in full‐body computer games, physical
rehabilitation, and textile design. She also studies how full‐body technology and body
sensory feedback can be used to modulate people’s perception of themselves and of
their capabilities to improve self‐efficacy and copying capabilities. She has published
more than 170 papers in affective computing, HCI, and pattern recognition. She was
awarded the 2003 Technical Prize from the Japanese Society of Kansei Engineering
and she has given a TEDxStMartin talk (2012).

Samantha Breslin is a PhD candidate in the Department of Anthropology at the
Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN). Trained initially as a computer
scientist at the University of Waterloo, she then completed a master’s degree in
anthropology at MUN. Samantha’s doctoral research is an ethnography of under-
graduate computer science education in Singapore, exploring the “making” of com-
puter scientists as (trans)national citizens and subjects in relation to computer science,
world making, entrepreneurialism, and gender. Alongside this research, she has been
working with Dr. Bimlesh Wadhwa at the National University of Singapore towards
developing a gender and HCI curriculum to enable undergraduate computing
students to explore how gender—and values more generally—are embedded in their
programs, designs, and practices.
Noirin Curran received a PhD in applied psychology from University College Cork,
and within psychology, her specialized area of interest is immersion in games. As part
of her doctoral work, she used rigorous psychometric procedures to create the IMX
Questionnaire, which measures the level of immersive response as experienced in a
game session. Being fascinated by the experiences that can be prompted by modern
media and technology, her current work in the game industry falls under the banner
of HCI, where she investigates what game players do, and why, and promotes user‐
centered design based approaches. She has had the opportunity to carry out research
involving a variety of advanced research methods, statistical work, and human‐factors
and usability‐based methodologies in both academic and industry settings.
Clarisse Sieckenius de Souza is a full professor of the Department of Informatics of
