Dr. DİNÇ's research examines narrative structures in digital games through cinematic techniques, exploring psychological engagement mechanisms and transmedia storytelling frameworks. His teaching portfolio—including courses like "Digital Gaming and Narrative," "Digital Gaming and Psychology," and "Digital Gaming and Cinematography"—demonstrates his focus on game-based emotional design and interactive film theory. His artistic practice directly informs academic work, particularly through the Nazar interactive cinema project which implements game-engine cinematography.
