Senior🎓
Top SchoolElhassan Makled is a PhD candidate and research assistant at Technische Universität Ilmenau specializing in avatar representation, embodied interaction, and multi-user cross-reality systems, with publications in IEEE ISMAR, ACM VRST, ACM CHI and Springer venues. He bridges rigorous HCI research with product-focused XR engineering, having led XR teams at Robusta Studios, co-founded Null DIES, and shipped over a dozen interactive experiences and games across mobile, PC, and VR for clients like Toshiba and the Egyptian Ministry of Investment. His doctoral work tackles full-body avatar representation for smartphone users using inverse kinematics and body tracking, enabling remote VR and on-site AR users to inhabit shared digital twins. With 13 years of experience, he combines academic mentorship and course design with hands-on technical leadership as CEO, game director, and senior Unity engineer. Notably, he helped found an XR lab at the German University in Cairo and maintains a playful ambition—“trying to build the Matrix”—that drives his exploration of how people play, cooperate, and occupy cyberspace.
