Elena Bertozzi

Over the past 18 years, Dr. Elena Bertozzi and her team have worked with scientists, artists and healthcare professionals on a variety of games that incentivize players to seek and achieve positive behavioral change. Bertozzi has written extensively on gender, sexuality and technological self-efficacy. Motivated by her experiences in using games to address previously intractable problems, she studies ways in which interactive technologies can guide players towards better decision making based on accurate knowledge. Her group at Quinnipiac University specializes in leveraging current technologies to produce low-cost 2D games that can be delivered over the most accessible device for the target audience.
