Research Interests

My research is centered around the two questions

  • How is sound (from natural or electroacoustic sources) transmitted to and perceived by the individual human auditory system?
  • How can technical systems (including hearing systems, medical implants, or concert halls) be designed and used to interact with the individual human auditory system?
