Research Interests

My research group focuses on what I call "auditory neuroengineering." The primary aims of our work are the improvement of auditory rehabilitation and neuroprosthesis development/refinement. These aims are addressed via investigations into the operation of the auditory pathway using psychophysical and neuroimaging (primarily fMRI) techniques.

Expertise in these areas was developed through my training at both the Massachusetts General Hospital NMR Center and the Eaton-Peabody Laboratory at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary while a part of the (now) Speech and Hearing Bioscience and Technology graduate program, a part of the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology.
