Curriculum Vitae for Dr Malcolm Ryan 
 
Executive Summary 
 
I have been working as a computer scientist in academia since 2004. My major areas of expertise 
are in artificial intelligence and game design. 
 
My passion is for “creative computing” – the use of advanced computing technologies in the 
pursuit of the creative arts. This goes deeper than using graphics programs to make art, moving 
into the growing field of code-based art, in which the artist is themselves a programmer. 
 
Over the years my research has evolved from pure, practical AI (reinforcement learning and 
planning) to more creative ends (story generation, game AI). I am also a passionate teacher and 
spend a lot of time considering how to improve my teaching practice. My interest in games and 
teaching has recently converged in a research project on educational game design. 
 
At UNSW I teach subject in game design, computer graphics, and introductory programming for 
designers. I am Director of the Game Design Lab and supervise students in games and AI related 
research projects. 
 
In my work and my spare time I develop games. I am an expert user of the Unity 3D game 
engine and it is my preferred platform. I have a small portfolio of games developed with this 
tool. i 
 
I am active in promoting creating computing in my school and the broader community. I have 
run several game programming workshops for high school students and with Dan Graf, I 
organised Game Jam Sydney at the Powerhouse Museum in 2010 and 2011, and Game Jam 
Junior in 2012 – both events part of the worldwide Global Game Jam. I am a Community 
Developer for the local chapter of the Independent Game Developers Association, with over 
1000 members. I am also academic mentor to the UNSW Game Developers Society. 
 
I review games-related books at the Words on Play blogii and am starting my own independent 
game development practice.

Programming skills 
I have over two decades of programming experience and am skilled in a wide variety of 
languages. I have completed major projects in such languages as C, C++, C#, Java and Prolog.  
 
For game development my preferred tool is the Unity3D game engine, which I have been using 
since 2010. 
 
For AI development, my preferred tools are the Gecode Constraint Satisfaction Solver and the 
Potassco suite of Answer Set Programming tools.
