_Prospective Students

Am I taking students? Generally, yes, but the supply and demand at play stops me from being overtly encouraging. Each year I get about 30-40 inquiries for maybe one spot (it varies year to year). Most students come interested in game-based research, but of late I have been focusing more on the Social Value work, sometimes using game data but sometimes using data from retail, ecommerce and even charitable donations. The best fits are usually students with strong quant skills, though I would also welcome qualitative students who share my goals and can complement the quant work with deeper insights and methods.

Here is my general advice for anyone seeking a PhD, with me or elsewhere.

_Consulting

I provide consulting services to firms seeking to manage their data and gain insights into their customer’s behavior, including satisfaction, interactions, subscriptions and microtransactions. I specialize in understanding consumer-to-consumer influence.

Most of this work is with video game developers managing game populations and seeking to improve the player experience, but I also work with ecommerce, retail, donation, and streaming services.
