Biography and Expertise

Research interests: Otoacoustic emissions and middle ear reflectance.

As a researcher, my training is in auditory physiology, particularly the middle ear and cochlea, neuroscience, and acoustics. As an audiologist, I also have strong clinical interests.

My research program focuses primarily on understanding the mechanics of the peripheral auditory system and applying that understanding in clinically useful ways.

An important thrust of my research has been elucidating where in the cochlea these early components are generated and what the generation mechanism is.
