Biography
Seth Cooper is an associate professor at the Khoury College of Computer Sciences. His work combines scientific discovery games (particularly in computational structural biochemistry), serious games, and crowdsourcing games.
Before joining Northeastern, he was creative director of the Center for Game Science at the University of Washington. Cooper’s industry experience comprises Square Enix, Electronic Arts, and Pixar Animation Studios. A pioneer in the field of scientific discovery games, Dr. Cooper’s work has shown video game players are able to outperform purely computational methods for certain types of structural biochemistry problems, effectively codify their strategies, and integrate with the lab to help design real synthetic molecules. He has also developed techniques to adapt the difficulty of tasks to individual game players and generate game levels.
