Mark Sivak has a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Northeastern University. He feels that learning is a lifelong journey and that games have not been harnessed to a fraction of their potential for teaching. He is specifically interested in multi-user games and simulations as well as custom game hardware and user input devices. He is currently working on his M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Northeastern while doing research into using games to rehabilitate stroke patients. In the future, he wants to research and develop technology that will help games merge more with education. He considers himself a gamer first, so when he is not working hard he is playing hard enjoying the games others have created. If he is anywhere else, he is scuba diving or merely wishing he were.
