Alexander Klippel

Alexander Klippel is Professor and Chair of Geo-Information Science at Wageningen University and Research, with a focus on spatial data science and immersive experiences. His research and education is grounded in an understanding that humans are spatial beings and that our interactions and relations, communication, all our activities, learning and understanding have a spatial component. Games, and particular immersive games, provide an opportunity to connect human spatiality with a spatial medium and the potential is only slowly unfolding. In this research, Alexander is laying the scientific foundations of how immersive technologies, serious games, and the spatial sciences can address societal challenges. Before joining Wageningen, Alexander was the inaugural director of Penn State’s Center for Immersive experiences and a professor in their famous Geography department. He was a post doc at the University of Melbourne, Australia, and received a Ph.D. from Bremen University, Germany, in Informatics and Mathematics. He likes to think of himself as a transdisciplinary researcher. He also has the usual academic credentials with plenty of publications, fellowships, best paper awards and funding from agencies from three continents.
