Auditory Neuroscientist
I study how the brain processes sounds and how listeners with hearing loss do so differently. My current work focuses on spatial auditory attention in both typically hearing listeners and bilateral cochlear implant users.
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Neural Computation at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA. I am supervised by Dr. Barbara Shinn-Cunningham and Dr. Christopher Brown and supported by a Predoctoral (F31) Individual National Research Service Award. I earned my B.S. in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Rochester.
How do acoustics shape neural representations of sounds?
How can we improve assistive hearing devices by understanding how the brain processes sounds in noisy environments?
