Videogame doctors

A recent ill-informed CNN money article asked “What’s next: a Ph.D. in video gaming?“
Well, duh! – but I started a small count and actually, the number of game PhD’s to be is quite impressive.
Below is a list of people that I can think of, top of my head, who are speeding towards ludic doctor-hood.

But first the ones who made it (strong focus on games only):
- Mary Ann Buckles (see post on Ludology.org)
- Espen Aarseth (no decent link, as Dr. Aarseth believes the WWW thing will blow over)
- Lisbeth Klastrup
- Jesper Juul
- Lars Konzack
- Dmitri Williams

En route (in order of randomness):
- Gonzalo Frasca, IT University of Copenhagen
- Miguel Sicart, IT University of Copenhagen
- Simon Egenfeldt-Nielsen, IT University of Copenhagen
- Sara Mosberg, IT University of Copenhagen
- Troels Folmann, IT University of Copenhagen
- Jonas Heide Smith, IT University of Copenhagen
- Chek Yang Foo, Curtin University of Technology
- Mirjam Eladhari, Gotland University
- Elina Koivisto, Nokia Research Center (Finland)
- Lisa Galarneau, University of Waikato
- Constance Steinkuehler, University of Wisconsin–Madison
- Kristine Jørgensen, University of Copenhagen
- Gitte Stald, University of Copenhagen
- Charlie Breindahl, University of Copenhagen
- Anne Mette Thorhauge, University of Copenhagen
- Marinka Copier, University of Utrecht
- Christian Ulrik Andersen, University of Århus
- Julian Kuecklich, Ulster University
- Peter Zackariasson, Umeå School of Business and Economics
- Laurie Taylor, University of Florida
- Sean Fenty, University of Florida

Okay, this list is hopelessly incomplete. Please tell me some of the names that my tired brain didn’t come up with.
