Julian Togelius
Julian Togelius is an Associate Professor at the Center for Computer Games Research, IT University of Copenhagen and among the founders of the procedural content generation research field.
Togelius has introduced core procedural generation paradigms and frameworks for game content such as the Experience-driven Procedural Content Generation (EDPCG) framework [1] and the Search-based Procedural Content Generation (SBPCG) paradigm [2] which define two of the leading research trends within procedural content generation. EDPCG couples player experience modelling and procedural content generation so that game content is generated in a personalised manner for affecting the experience of the player and SBPCG offers a taxonomy for the generation of game content through search. He co-edited the first book on Procedural Content Generation [3] for games.
Togelius' research has appeared in respected international media such as New Scientist,[4][5][6] and Le Monde.[7]
