Academia

In my previous life, before deciding that games were all I wanted to do, I spent a few years working in the academic world, pursuing a Ph.D in Emerging Digital Technologies and being a Teaching Assistant in a Virtual Environments class. It feels like a lifetime ago but some people at Uni are still using some of my slides for their courses, and I’m happy to keep hosting them for our future colleagues!
