Sophia Batchelor (born 20 April 1995 in Canterbury, New Zealand) is a swimmer and neuroscientist from New Zealand who competed at the 2013 World Aquatics Championships. In 2013, she enrolled at the University of California, Berkeley,[1] moved later to the University of Florida[2] and is working at her PhD in University of Leeds in Cognitive Neuroscience.[3]

At the 2011 Commonwealth Youth Games Batchelor won the gold medal in women's 100m butterfly in 58.63 seconds. She also won a silver medal in the 50m butterfly and bronze medals in the 200m backstroke and 4 × 100 m medley relay.[4][5]

Batchelor has set over 100 New Zealand records[1] in age-group and open events.

As scientist specialized in Human Computer Interaction (relating her neuroscience background with immersive technologies), she was awarded with the Nextant Rising Star Prize.[6] "The Nextant Prize is awarded to a person whom others can turn to for inspiration and guidance with their work in immersive technologies."[7]
