Cindy Sun

Cindy recently earned an Honours Bachelor of Science degree with distinction from the Biomedical Sciences program at the University of Waterloo. Throughout her undergraduate studies, she developed a strong academic and research foundation in neuroscience, physiology, and experimental design, earning several awards including the President’s Scholarships of Distinction, Science Undergraduate Student Opportunity Award, and President’s Research Awards. She is now pursuing her Master of Science in Vision Science under the supervision of Dr. Ben Thompson in the Human Visual Neuroscience Lab.

Cindy’s research focuses on understanding how binocular vision can be improved in adults with amblyopia through perceptual training and visual neuroplasticity. Her current project examines how motion-based visual tasks can be used to study and enhance depth perception. The long-term goal of this work is to contribute to the development of accessible, evidence-based rehabilitation tools for improving binocular function.
