Biography

Ewa Niechwiej-Szwedo is an Associate Professor at the University of Waterloo, specializing in Kinesiology Health Sciences. Her research focuses on three main themes, including developmental visuomotor neuroscience, gaze behavior in pilots, and concussion diagnosis. Ewa's work advances the understanding of visuomotor integration and its impact on skillful movements in three-dimensional spaces through binocular vision and predictive control mechanisms. She conducts experimental studies with both visually-normal children and adults, as well as individuals with abnormal binocular vision. Ewa also analyzes gaze behavior changes among pilots using eye tracking technology in flight simulators, contributing to new models of pilot competency assessment. Furthermore, her research is pivotal in developing behavioral tests for concussion diagnosis and recovery monitoring, addressing long-term consequences associated with repetitive head injuries. Ewa advocates for graduate supervision and encourages students to engage in research opportunities, ensuring innovative applications in motor learning and visual-motor control.
