Overview
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Psychology & Neuroscience
My research interests are focused on the perception of sound in space and how this interacts with complex cognitive processes, such as memory, language processing, and music cognition. Through my graduate training, I will gain expertise in utilizing microelectrode recordings to explore multisensory perception in macaque monkeys, fMRI to explore human memory, and EEG to explore human processing of complex sounds, such as speech and music.
Prior to the start of my graduate studies, I conducted research as an undergraduate at Duke University in a variety of topics including, speech perception, auditory imagery, music and memory in individuals with dementia, and brain-computer interfaces for individuals suffering from severe paralysis. I look forward to continuing to explore my interests in auditory perception and its connection with memory through my graduate studies.
