I direct The Cognitive Hearing Laboratory and I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University) in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Prior, I was a postdoctoral fellow at Sunnybrook Research Institute within the Department of Otolaryngology at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, and before that, I was a postdoctoral associate in the School of Speech Therapy and Audiology at the University of Montreal. I hold a Ph.D. in Psychology from McMaster University, and a M.A. in Speech and Hearing Science and B.Mus. in Music Theory from The Ohio State University.
My research interests cover a wide range of auditory topics that involve neural plasticity, such as hearing loss-related neural plasticity, cochlear implant rehabilitation, and tinnitus. I mainly use techniques such as electroencephalography (EEG), computational modeling, psychophysics, an array of clinical hearing testing, and other types of behavioural measurements. My research has been funded by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, The Canadian Foundation for Innovation, the Canadian Standards Association, and the American Tinnitus Association.
I enjoy nature and the outdoors. I love quiet.
