Sara is Director of Research at the Serious Games Institute at
the University of Coventry where she leads an applied research
team working closely with industry.
Recently appointed Professor of Virtual Environments she holds
a visiting senior research fellowship at the London Knowledge
Lab, London, and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.
In 2003 Sara founded (and continues to Chair) the UK Lab
Group, which brings the research and development community
together to create stronger links between industrial and
academic research through supporting collaborative
programmes and for showcasing innovative R&D solutions for
the knowledge economy.
Voted the Most Influential Woman in Technology 2009 by US
Fast Company, Sara chaired the IEEE Serious Games and Virtual
Worlds conference in 2009, and is a regular speaker at
international conferences.
Sara currently holds funding from the Advantage West Midlands,
Erasmus Scheme, European Regional Development Fund,
European Union and the Technology Strategy Board.
Her current lines of research are examining multimodal
interfaces, experience design and perceptual modelling in
games and virtual worlds.
Sara publishes widely in the areas of: pedagogy and e-learning;
change management and strategy development for
implementing e-learning systems and serious games and virtual
worlds for supporting training and learning.
