Welcome to my website. My name is Georgios Christou, and I am an Assistant Professor at the European University Cyprus, in Cyprus.  I’m especially interested in three topics: Digital Games, User eXperience Evaluation, and Reality-Based Interaction Evaluation. I’ve been working on predictive evaluation methods and models of task usability, and now I do work in understanding game experiences to distill usable advice for game designers.

I received my Ph.D. in 2007 at Tufts University, in Human-Computer Interaction, and was lucky enough to have Prof. Robert J. K. Jacob as my advisor. My external committee member, and also second advisor, was Assoc. Prof. Frank E. Ritter of Penn State U.

Enjoy your stay!
