Özge Cordan is a full-time Professor at Istanbul Technical University (ITU), Department of Interior Architecture. She was the national coordinator of the International Masters of Interior Architectural Design Program (IMIAD) between 2008-2018 and the international coordinator of the IMIAD Program between 2010-2015 and the deputy head of the Interior Architecture Department between 2008-2010. She currently serves as the department head. She worked as visiting scholar at College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning (DAAP), University of Cincinnati between 2007 and 2008. She has supervised many completed and ongoing master's theses and teaches in both undergraduate and graduate programs. Her main research focus includes gamification and design, interior architecture and education, and inclusive design. Besides her research projects regarding interiors, she completed an EU Erasmus+ project (PUDCAD- Practicing Universal Design Principles in Design Education through a CAD-based Game) with Demet Arslan Dinçay in 2020. She is one of the editors of the "Game + Education" proceedings volume.

Mehmet Ilker Berkman is a faculty member at Communication Design Department in Bahçeşehir University (BAU), is actively engaged in research related to human-computer interaction. His expertise lies in user-centered design methods and interactive media design. He specializes in psychometrics in order to develop research tools for subjective assessment of user experience. Dr. Berkman holds an M.A. in interactive media design, an M.Sc. in information technologies, and a Ph.D. in computer engineering. His recent research focus centres around games user research, with a particular emphasis on virtual reality gaming with head-mounted displays.
