I joined the faculty of the Department of Hearing and Speech Sciences in January of 2013.  I have a background in clinical audiology and I study the neural processing of speech across the lifespan, with a particular interest in the ways processing impairments affect language acquisition in infants and speech perception in older adults.   I use electrophysiology as my primary research tool, but I also use perceptual and imaging assessment techniques in collaboration with other faculty.  I am a faculty member of the Program in Neuroscience and Cognitive Science, the Center for Comparative and Evolutionary Biology of Hearing, and the Language Science Center.
