Stella Alumonah, a student reasearcher in the REACH program and member of Dr. Simon’s lab, was one of four undergraduate researchers named a 2026 ARO Scholar. The ARO Scholars Program provides funding for undergraduate researchers to conduct Summer research and attend the ARO annual MidWinter Meeting (MWM).

Stella’s current project, “Automated Word Timing from Speech Audio for Brain Signal Analysis,” aims to improve how scientists align spoken words with brain responses recorded during magnetoencephalography (MEG) experiments. You can learn more about Stella and her research here.
