an Associate Professor at Maastricht University (Netherlands) and a leading Australian/UK research scientist specializing in AI applications in creative domains (e.g., game design, ancient game reconstruction). He holds a PhD in Artificial Intelligence (Queensland University of Technology, 2009) with a thesis on evolutionary game design—pioneering the first published computer-generated games. As Principal Investigator of the ERC-funded Digital Ludeme Project (2018–2023), he developed the Ludii general game system, a landmark tool for modeling and reconstructing traditional/ancient board games. His career spans academia (Imperial College London, RIKEN Japan) and industry (Microsoft, Canon), with 39 software patents and roles in developing tools like SwishMax. Browne has an h-index of 20, 100+ peer-reviewed papers (including a highly cited 2012 survey on Monte Carlo Tree Search with 3,300+ citations), 7+ books, and 20+ published board games (e.g., Yavalath, the first computer-invented game). He has secured €2M+ in grants (ERC, COST), won awards like the GECCO “Humies” Gold Medal, and led exhibitions (e.g., A World of Games at Sweden’s Museum of World Culture) to bridge AI research and public engagement with game heritage.

His impressive journey includes active engagement in conflict transformation, peacebuilding, community development, and humanitarian service, leaving an indelible mark locally and globally. His dedication to fostering peace and harmony has not gone unnoticed; he has received a prestigious Outstanding Service for Peace award from the President of Nepal. It is a testament to his commitment to peacebuilding efforts and his emergence as a distinguished expert in peace and humanitarian work.

My growing passion is in creature modeling and design. I have been exploring that and will be revamping my portfolio to reflect this new pursuit. I have 2 decades of experience in freelance production as a 3D Generalist. My work has been focused on modelling, lighting and rendering over the last few years. I love Zbrush for organic modelling and work well within 3DS Max and Maya for hard surface modelling.
