Jack is studying for his Ph.D in Healthcare Technology. After receiving his Master's degree in Computational Neuroscience and Cognitive Robotics in 2017, he worked as a Research Assistant in the Sensorimotor Neuroscience lab at the University of Birmingham before moving to Exeter to begin his Ph.D. He is currently developing and testing virtual reality appliations for clinical applications. 

Alongside this, Jack was seconded to work as an intern (although he likes to call himself a Graduate Research Assistant) on The DCD Project. He has lead our patient & public involvement (PPI) programs and has been developing his skills in data analysis and machine learning. He is interested in how virtual reality can be used in science and healthcare, and how statistical techniques and machine learning can be used in the assessment and diagnosis of disorders which affect upper limb movement. He is particularly interested in stroke and DCD in adults. 

Gavin was awarded his Ph.D in Psychology from the University of Aberdeen in 2008, before moving to Canada to take up a positions as a postdoctoral fellow in the Brain and Mind Institute at Western University in Canada. His work there mostly focussed on how we perceive the weight of, and interact with, objects in the world around us. Around this time, he developed a particular interest in illusions, which have fascinated him ever since. 

He is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Sport and Health Sciences at the University of Exeter, where he leads the Object Interaction Lab. Gavin's work examines how cognitive factors influence perception, sensorimotor control, and the learning of new motor skills. He is interested in the treatment and understanding of movement disorders which affect the upper limbs. 

Mohammed is a dedicated PhD researcher in the Sport and Health Sciences department at the University of Exeter. With a solid foundation in physiotherapy, he earned his BSc (Hons) from Taibah University in Saudi Arabia and continued his academic journey with an MSc in physiotherapy from Cardiff University.

Currently, Mohammed is focusing on a Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) project that aims to better understand children's perspectives on sports and their engagement with virtual reality. His particular area of interest lies in exploring the impact of virtual reality on children diagnosed with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD)/Dyspraxia. With a passion for innovation and a commitment to improving the lives of those affected by DCD, Mohammed is determined to make a difference through his research.
