MBCLab Postdoctoral Fellow Alumni

Dr. John E. Muñoz PhD

I completed a postdoctoral fellowship in the MBClab in 2019-2022  and was funded by Dr. Barnett-Cowan's Early Researcher Award and UW Trailblazer Award and co-supervised by Dr. Jennifer Boger, Dr. Shi Cao, and Dr. Laura Middleton. Working with a large interdisciplinary team I led the team to co-design and build video games that incorporate exercise and use sensors to get real-time info on cognitive and physiological functions for older adults living in the community and long-term care in partnership with the company VR Vision. Currently I am a UX Research Scientist at J& F Alliance Group.

Dr. Séamas Weech PhD

I completed a postdoctoral fellowship in the MBClab in 2017-2019  and was funded by Oculus Research/Facebook/Meta Reality Labs to study motion sickness in virtual reality. Following this I secured an NSERC Postdoctoral Fellowship and a Mitacs Accelerate Fellowship to assess motion sickness on moving base vehicle simulators. I was also supported by an award from McGill University's Healthy Brains, Healthy Lives/NeuroSphere Initiative.
