Research Interests
I am interested in understanding the neural mechanisms of vocal communication. Human speech is an extremely complex behavior that involves both production and perception, and is highly influenced by social context and environment. My research interests focus using physiologic, behavioral, and computational tools to examine all facets of the complex vocal communication process, using both human subjects and animal models.
I am also interested in how this process is altered in human disease and treatments, particularly in how the brain remodels after cochlear implantation, and how this affects both speech perception and production.
Clinical Interests
My clinical practice focuses on disorders of hearing and balance. I have particular interest in hearing loss and rehabilitation, particularly hearing restoration through cochlear implantation.
