Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRogerio De Leon Pereira is a game engineering professor and researcher with a PhD in Computer Science and over a decade of experience blending software development, HCI, and citizen science game design. He designs and delivers hands-on, industry-aligned courses (game engines, gameplay programming, HCI, data-driven tools) and mentors large, diverse cohorts using gamification and project-based learning. His research produced GeSort, a Unity-based citizen science game with a MEAN-stack backend that generated publishable insights into genome-sorting strategies and player behavior, and he developed FORGE, a framework for gamified reward systems. Prior to academia he led full-stack development and BI initiatives in higher education, giving him practical engineering chops across Java, C#, JavaScript, and data pipelines. Based in Burlington, Ontario, he pairs rigorous research with classroom pragmatism and a persistent curiosity for games—both as scientific tools and as playful design.
