Bonnie K. Lau, PhD, CCC-SLP
Research Assistant Professor Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery Research Interests: Hearing, Language Work Summary: We study auditory brain and perceptual development and how it relates to language learning by combining magnetoencephalography, electroencephalography, psychophysics, and clinical assessment methods. Since human infants hear and understand speech before they talk, one of the ultimate goals of…

Eliot A. Brenowitz, PhD
Professor Psychology, Biology Research Interests: My research involves the integration between mechanism and function in animal behavior, with an emphasis on acoustic communication in birds and frogs. Work Summary: My research involves the integration between mechanism and function in animal behavior, with an emphasis on acoustic communication in birds and frogs. The principal current…
Mark A. Bothwell, PhD
Professor Physiology and Biophysics Research Interests: Growth factor receptor signal transduction, dendritic development Primary Methodologies: Recombinant DNA, cell culture, in ovo electroporation, immunohistochemistry Work Summary: Our work concerns development of hind-brain auditory circuits, with a particular emphasis on signaling mechanisms that control dendritic development. A particular focus is the neurotrophin family of neurotrophic factors,…
Olivia Bermingham-McDonogh, PhD
Professor Biological Structure Research Interests: My research involves the mammalian inner ear. In particular the auditory part called the organ of Corti which is made up of hair cells and support cells that are arranged in a stereotyped pattern. Work Summary: My broad research interests are in the area of sensory system development and…
Andres Barria, PhD
Professor Physiology and Biophysics Research Interests: Synaptic physiology of excitatory neurotransmission Primary Methodologies: Electrophysiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, fluorescence imaging Work Summary: Using molecular and cellular techniques, along with advanced imaging and electrophysiology, we try to understand the molecular and cellular mechanisms that a) trigger formation of glutamatergic synapses and stabilize them, b) control the…
Les Atlas, PhD
Professor Electrical Engineering Research Interests: Theory of time-frequency and time scale analysis, speech recognition and analysis Work Summary: Theory of time-frequency and time scale analysis: almost all physical signals come from systems that are time-varying. Our theory drops all the typical assumptions of stationary increments in time (and space) and is able to directly…

Neel K. Bhatt, MD
Assistant Professor Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery Research Interests: Speech, Voice, Dysphagia Work Summary: I am interested in better understanding neuromuscular changes in the larynx, especially with aging and neurodegenerative disease. While the clinical manifestations of laryngeal neuropathy are well-described, objective criteria for diagnosis is lacking. For example, vocal fold paresis, atrophy, and…
