Robert Funnell, PhD is an Investigator at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (RI-MUHC) and a Professor in the Department of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery at McGill University's Faculty of Medicine. His research is conducted within the Child Health and Human Development Program at RI-MUHC, where he applies engineering principles to understand auditory mechanics and improve diagnostic tools for hearing assessment. Dr. Funnell's research focuses on the mechanics and acoustics of hearing, with particular emphasis on developing novel measurement techniques in experimental animals and infants, and creating computational models of the ear. His work combines experimental measurements with sophisticated modeling approaches to better understand middle ear function. He has developed specialized software for creating 3D models of complex anatomical structures, including his notable Thrup'ny 3D viewer application. His research has significant clinical applications, particularly in improving newborn hearing screening protocols and developing better diagnostic tests for middle ear conditions. Analysis of Dr. Funnell's recent publications reveals a consistent trajectory in middle ear biomechanics research spanning several decades. His work demonstrates increasing sophistication in computational modeling techniques, with recent publications integrating optical coherence tomography, X-ray microCT data, and finite element analysis to create increasingly accurate representations of middle ear function. A significant portion of his recent work focuses on newborn hearing assessment, reflecting the clinical importance of early hearing detection. His research bridges engineering principles with clinical audiology, creating practical applications for hearing screening and diagnosis. Dr. Funnell has developed several notable software tools including Thrup'ny, a free open-source 3D viewer for VRML models designed for both anatomy teaching and finite-element pre- and post-processing. His website hosts various educational resources including interactive 3D models of the ear, finite-element simulation tools, and teaching materials on middle ear mechanics. These resources have been widely used for both research and educational purposes in the field of otolaryngology and biomedical engineering.

Doris Chow is an active Assistant Professor of Psychology at St. Thomas University (STU), where she has served on faculty since 2022. Her research laboratory focuses on multisensory perception and cognition, investigating how humans integrate sensory information across the lifespan through experimental studies with human participants. She teaches core psychology courses including Introduction to Psychology, Perception, and Visual Perception, while mentoring undergraduate researchers in experimental design and scientific communication. Her educational background spans a Bachelor of Social Sciences and Master of Philosophy from the University of Hong Kong, followed by a Ph.D. in Developmental and Brain Sciences from the University of Massachusetts Boston and postdoctoral training at the University of British Columbia Vancouver. Dr. Chow's research examines the neural mechanisms of multisensory integration, with emphasis on how perceptual abilities evolve from infancy through adulthood and the consequences when these processes malfunction. Her work bridges experimental psychology, vision science, and developmental neuroscience through controlled laboratory experiments. Current research trends in her publications reveal consistent focus on cross-modal interactions (particularly audio-visual and audio-tactile), developmental trajectories of perception, and the neural underpinnings of sensory integration. Recent work increasingly incorporates infant studies and computational approaches to understanding perceptual organization. Scientific recognition includes: NSERC Discovery Grant (awarded summer 2024) Harrison McCain Foundation research funding Dr. Chow maintains an active mentoring program where students develop research skills through honors theses and NSERC-funded projects. Her lab has produced multiple conference presentations at venues like Vision Sciences Society and Science Atlantic, with recent graduates accepted into competitive graduate programs including the Max Planck School of Cognition. She collaborates with community partners such as the Museum of Science in Boston (2014-2018) and continues this outreach approach at STU. The Multisensory Perception and Cognition Laboratory involves undergraduate researchers in all stages of experimental work, from participant recruitment to data analysis. Current projects examine haptic exploration strategies, sound-shape correspondences, and optic flow perception, with strong emphasis on developing students' academic writing and technical skills for research careers.
