iGGi Partners We are excited to be collaborating with a number of industry partners. IGGI works with industry in some of the following ways: Student Industry Knowledge Transfer - this can take many forms, from what looks like a traditional placement, to a short term consultancy, to an ongoing relationship between the student and their industry partner. Student Sponsorship - for some of our students, their relationship with their industry partner is reinforced by sponsorship from the company. This is an excellent demonstration of the strength of the commitment and the success of the collaborations. In Kind Contributions - IGGI industry partners can contribute by attending and/or featuring in our annual conference, offering their time to give talks and masterclasses for our students, or even taking part in our annual game jam! There are many ways for our industry partners to work with IGGI. If you are interested in becoming involved, please do contact us so we can discuss what might be suitable for you. Die Gute Fabrik

< Back - Meet me @ Develop:Brighton 2026 - Cameron Johnston Queen Mary University of London iGGi PG Researcher Available for placement Cam holds an MPhys in Theoretical Physics from the University of Edinburgh, wherein he combined infectious disease models with fluid dynamics to examine the validity of wastewater-based epidemiology as a method of passively monitoring the prevalence of COVID-19 in an urban population. Cam joined iGGi in 2023 to explore the relationship between video games and physics. A description of Cam's research: The virtual worlds of video games naturally invite a chance to play with the laws of physics. While games regularly tweak their physics, the goal is often to create a simulation of a world that feels realistic and familiar to players. This research seeks to do the opposite: to create virtual worlds that accurately simulate laws of physics unlike our own.

< Back - Meet me @ Develop:Brighton 2026 - Steph Carter University of York iGGi PG Researcher Available for post-PhD position Steph is an interdisciplinary researcher whose work spans psycholinguistics, HCI and game design. Their research investigates how game design can be used improve the participant experience in experimental tasks for second language acquisition research. They are also interested in research on accessibility in games, disability representation, games with a purpose, and have published work examining how AI/ML can be used to support professional roles in the creative industries. Outside of academia, Steph enjoys taking part in game jams, making pixel art and playing with their cats. Steph’s project explores how game design can improve participants’ experiences in Second Language Acquisition experiments while still enabling the collection of high quality, controlled data. Although games and gamification are increasingly used in educational contexts, particularly for language learning, their potential in experimental design for SLA research remains underexplored. This project investigates how incorporating game elements into psycholinguistic tasks can impact the participant experience and maintain data quality. The findings aim to inform the design and development of gamified data collection tools for both language learning and cognitive research, while also providing some practical guidance for researchers interested in gamifying their experimental methods.
