Agnieszka is a scientist with a background in biomedical engineering, psychology and design. She is currently a PhD candidate at Clinical Psychedelic Lab at Monash University and a co-investigator on a psilocybin study for depression, with the goal to improve outcomes and increase access through a personalised, tech-supported design of PAT.
As a scientist at Monash, she investigates mechanisms of novel therapeutics, including psychedelics and VR. As a co-founder of Enosis Therapeutics she developed a novel method of leveraging immersive technology to create an insight-focused approach to mental health treatment, well-being and human optimisation. She conducted the World’s first study on using an immersive therapeutic approach in combination with psychedelics to sustain psycho-emotional change.
Agnieszka has over a decade of experience in science innovation using cutting edge biotech tools, including customised imaging robots, 3D modelling and VR. Her work has led her to innovate medical research all over the world, including forensic medicine in Switzerland, space medicine in Austria and translational science in Singapore.
She is devoted to science outreach, extensively advocating for open-science
communication, community led research and outcome transparency, with extensive experience in public speaking and teaching to science and non-science audiences. Her designs have been displayed worldwide, including Shanghai EXPO, Florence Biennale or Austrian Sounds of Space. Her work has been featured in ABC Australia, BBC Science, Mashable and Bloomberg and she produced freelance journaling articles for Psychiatric Times and Przekroj Magazine.
Marc is a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist and practicing psychodynamic psychotherapist with an enthusiasm for innovating the future of mental health care. He is currently completing a PhD in Environmental Psychology at the University of Melbourne, exploring how the fractal patterns which make up our natural environments interact with cognition and emotional regulation, and how this can inform therapeutic environments.
Marc’s work spans both clinical practice and extreme performance psychology. He has specialised in the psychology of Isolated and Confined Environments (ICEs), including polar expeditions and long-duration spaceflight, looking at how psychosocial and sensory technology can help future astronauts cope with multi-year transits to Mars and back. He was a founding member of the Space Life Science Committee for the Australasian Society of Aerospace Medicine, has lectured widely on space medicine and psychology, and advised medical teams during Australia’s COVID-19 hotel quarantine response.
Marc’s writing explores the role of emerging technologies in psychotherapy, including implications for AI psychotherapy and spatial computing, with a focus on how they can augment, not replace the therapeutic relationship.
