Prof. Dr.-Ing. Maic Masuch

Prof. Dr. Maic Masuch heads the Department of Media and Computer Science with focus on Entertainment Computing at the University of Duisburg-Essen since October 2008. Maic Masuch did his doctorate on computeranimation at the University of Magdeburg and in 2002 he has been offered the first professorship for computer games in Germany there. He does research and teaches on topics of game development over 10 years and is one of the pioneers of computer game research in Germany. After a short stay at the Duke University in North Carolina, USA, he worked as professor for digital learning games at FH Trier from 2007 to 2008.

Consultation Hour

Wednesday 10:00 to 11:00 am, by arrangement in semester break

Main Research Areas

The research at the professorship focusses on a subdomain of Media and Computer Science, which is called Entertainment Computing in the fields of

  1. Game design and game development from Computer Science’s point of view
  2. The connection among games and learning

In this context we are especially dealing with the following aspects:

  • Interaction Design
  • 3D Stereo
  • Authoring systems for media environment
  • User experience Design/Game experience
  • Interactive Storytelling
  • Media environment for children

Media systems for special target groups such as children or elderly people or games in non-playful contexts such as Gameful Interaction for operational applications and obviously Edutainment environments like Serious Games, act as application fields for our research.
