Research Interests

My research is aimed at helping hearing-impaired individuals manage in complex real world situations. Currently, I am integrating mathematical modeling, signal processing, and psychology in an attempt to determine the relative weights that subjects give to different auditory features when they are trying to identify the location of a talker and understand what is being said.
