Dr Devon Allcoat completed her PhD in Psychology at the University of Warwick, in the United Kingdom. Her doctoral research explored the effects and applications of video games and virtual environments, particularly their cognitive effects and how they can be applied to education. In her current role at the University of Warwick she develops and teaches courses and modules in game design and development, whilst continuing with research projects on technology. She is an expert in game design, pedagogy, human-technology interaction, virtual reality, and mixed reality.
