Niklas Henderson

Niklas Henderson has recently completed his EPSRC-funded PhD in the School of Computing Sciences, and is a part-time Game Development lecturer at Norwich University of the Arts. His research focusses on how communication theories can be effectively used to create game-based activities that build players' resistance to misinformation. He has particular interest in inoculation theory, how analogue games (physical games) can be used for this purpose, and how serious game design methods can be used to create more effective interventions. He is also an enthusiastic public speaker, previously presenting at the Norwich Science Festival on topics including games against disinformation, and disinformation in large language models such as ChatGPT. He has often been involved with other outreach programmes, running workshops at schools around Norfolk and Suffolk.

Niklas is currently seeking postdoctoral opportunities to continue research in misinformation interventions and intervention design. Please do not hesitate to get in contact if you have, or are aware of, a vacancy in this area.
