Research Areas: Balance, hearing, speech
Research Interests: Speech and music processing in cochlear implants; vestibular implants
Primary
Methodologies:
Digital signal processing; electrophysiology; psychoacoustics
Work Summary: My primary research is on developing signal processing strategies to improve speech and music coding in cochlear implants. My areas of interest are: efficient coding strategies for cochlear implants, speech enhancement, speech perception, psychoacoustics and, more broadly, biomedical signal processing. More recently I became interested in the development of vestibular neural prostheses and have been conducting experiments on humans and animals to assess a prototype clinical device.
