Meet the Sophic Team
Morgan McClellan
Applied Health Specialist
Morgan McClellan is a sports scientist and biomedical engineer with experience spanning human performance research and development, applied biomechanics, and sensor-based system validation across elite sport, military rehabilitation, and adaptive populations. With a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology from the University of Texas at San Antonio and a master’s degree in biomedical engineering from the University of Texas at San Antonio and the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio Joint Program, Morgan brings technical expertise in biomechanical analysis, wearable and inertial sensing, workload quantification, and performance risk assessment in high-demand operational environments.
In a dual role at Sophic Synergistics, LLC, Morgan supports both applied health R&D and business development initiatives, translating human performance science into technically rigorous, mission-relevant solutions. This includes contributing to research design, system evaluation, and validation efforts, as well as supporting proposal development, technical positioning, and alignment of Sophic’s capabilities with client and stakeholder needs.
In parallel, Morgan serves in a human factors engineering role supporting the NASA Artemis III mission for our client Axiom Space, contributing to the evaluation and optimization of next-generation spacesuit systems for lunar surface operations. This work focuses on understanding how constrained mobility, cumulative mechanical load, and environmental stressors influence astronaut performance, safety, and injury risk, and applying human-centered design principles to spacesuit development and validation.
Drawing from experience across tactical, adaptive, and extreme performance populations—including individuals with traumatic brain injury, limb loss, and neurological conditions—Morgan brings a translational, evidence-driven approach to designing and validating systems that must perform reliably in high-consequence environments. Morgan is particularly motivated to apply this interdisciplinary background to advancing human-centered spacesuit design and operational readiness for the Artemis III mission.
