Roger Crawfis

Roger Crawfis is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at The Ohio State University and serves as CEO/CTO of RxGames (www.rxgames.com), where he develops sensor-integrated therapeutic video games for rehabilitation.

His research specializes in Procedural Content Generation (PCG) and AI-powered health applications, creating adaptive game environments that leverage 3D cameras and motion sensors to address neuro-rehabilitation (e.g., traumatic brain injury), orthopedic recovery (e.g., patellofemoral pain), and age-related mobility decline. Key technical domains include scientific/medical visualization, real-time simulation, and 3D graphics frameworks.

Crawfis mentors students in computer science while leading a research laboratory focused on algorithmically generated therapeutic experiences. His 40+ year career spans military simulators, flight systems, and AAA graphics engines, with RxGames translating academic research into commercial products used by therapists for personalized rehabilitation.
