Short Bio Paul Cairns is Professor of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) at the University of York. He has been investigating players' experiences of digital games for over twenty years. He is particularly interested in operationalising and measuring concepts such as immersion, challenge, and uncertainty that players experience when playing. He is also very keen to ensure the inclusion and accessibility of games through understanding the experience of games for disabled players. In order to understand the complex landscape of digital games, Paul has also had to use diverse research methods and promote their adoption in HCI. As a result, he has written two books, Research Methods for HCI and Doing Better Statistics in HCI.
