Mohammed Mohammed

I am a Junior Researcher at LUT University, focusing on enhancing esports ecosystems in the MENA region, while contributing to the projects on inclusion, innovation, and the Finnish game industry.

My background includes more than 10 years of experience in instructional design, digital learning, and gamification across academia, industry, and government. My work has received international recognition, including being shortlisted for the “Outstanding Gamification Research” award at Gamification Europe.

My research interests include esports, player research, gamification design, game accessibility, and the intersection of games with emerging technologies such as AI, VR, and AR. I combine rigorous research methods with a human-centered design mindset to deliver actionable insights for the games industry.

I thrive in cross-cultural collaboration and creative problem-solving, and I am motivated by using research to drive innovation. My goal is to bridge the gap between academia and industry by producing research that contributes to sustainable growth in global game ecosystems.
