Biography

Scott Kuhl is an associate professor of computer science at Michigan Technological University. He received his PhD in computer science from the University of Utah in 2009. His research interests include computer graphics, immersive virtual environments, head-mounted displays, and how humans understand and interact with 3D space. He is affiliated with the Human-Centered Computing group in the Institute of Computing and Cybersystems.

Dr. Kuhl is the faculty advisor of Husky Game Development (HGD) Enterprise where students develop computer, console and smartphone games for business, education and fun. Games are regularly released on the HGD website. He has also helped organize the BonzAI Brawlprogramming contest.
