About Our Student Games Developer
Nikhil Ghosh, U-M Computer Science Engineering student
Video games have been a large part of my life for as long as I can remember. My childhood is filled with memories of being hit by blue shells in Mario Kart, hanging off the side of a train in Uncharted, or defeating Dr. Robitnik’s latest contraption in Sonic the Hedgehog. I take my love of gaming into every interactive experience I make. The games I've worked on have given me insight into how my passion for games can intersect with sustainability. I now realize I can use my skills as a game developer to have a large positive impact on the world rather than just to give my players’ joy. Getting to learn about sustainability and work with the incredibly passionate Student Center staff has helped me learn how I can take care to reduce my carbon footprint.
