As a student, Chris Cornuelle's first game design class at Oregon State University was nearly four decades ago, and his first programming course was the year after. Despite his love for games, Dr. Cornuelle pursued his other love, astrophysics, into graduate school and a post-doc.
He is now happy to merge his decades of experience in software and data analysis with video games and teaching. Dr. Cornuelle is a DigiPen Institute of Technology instructor teaching at PSSC. He has been here since 2009.
