Brief Bio
Laura Herrewijn (PhD in the Social Sciences: Communication Sciences) is a senior research scientist at the AP University of Applied Sciences and Arts Antwerp and guest professor at the University of Antwerp. Her expertise is situated in the domain of digital, interactive media with a specialisation in digital games, virtual reality, and learning analytics dashboards, and how they can be designed and used for entertainment (e.g. taking into account usability and user experience, principles of storytelling), education (e.g. teaching of knowledge and skills, giving feedback) and persuasive communication (e.g. changing of attitudes and/or behavior). She has done extensive research on the effectiveness of in-game advertising and in-game purchases, focusing primarily on the impact of player processes such as player involvement and immersion.
At the AP University, she co-leads the research on “Game UX Design“ within the department of Media, Design and IT. They are conducting two research projects on esports and game streaming, namely: BEAT, or Better esports Analytics for Teams, and Spectator LF Streamer, Designing for Better Game Stream Discovery. She is also involved in Virtual Experience-related research projects such as Environmental Immersion and Merging Realities, and learning analytics research projects for the AP University (called LAP!) and the Centralized Tests in Flanders. At the University of Antwerp, she teaches the course Persuasive Technologies to Master students in Communication Sciences.

Brief Bio
Sven Charleer is a senior research scientist at AP University of Applied Sciences and Arts. After 10 years working in the industry as software engineer and game developer, he pursued a PhD under the supervision of Prof. Erik Duval and Prof. Katrien Verbert at the Human-Computer Interaction group of the Computer Science Department at KU Leuven, Belgium. During his PhD and postdoc he focused on data visualisations and interactive dashboards in the domains of Learning Analytics, Digital Humanities, Video Games and Job Mobility. His Learning Analytics research resulted in the LISSA dashboard, a breakthrough in the study advisor workflow deployed across KU Leuven university. His research is published in journals such as IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, International Journal of Technology Enhanced Learning, Journal of Learning Analytics and Journal of Universal Computer Science. It was also published in multiple proceedings of conferences, such as ACM RecSys, CHIPLAY, ACM LAK, Eurovis, and EC-TEL. T
He co-leads two research projects at AP University related to Video Game User Experience: the BEAT (Better esports Analytics for Teams) project, a collaboration with the video game industry, which explores how to enhance the esports team experience through live and post-game data and visualisations; and the Spectator LF Streamer project, where he researches how spectators explore video game streaming platforms, and how better search methods and recommendation control can create a more effective and enjoyable search experience.
