About me

So what is there to say about me? Well I’m currently I work as a neuroscientist at the University of Maryland, College Park. I used to be a particle physicist, and from time to time I certainly still miss that work, not to mention the community of people I worked with.

I work on auditory perception, trying to understand how the brain processes sounds so that we hear things the way we do. One of my key interests in speech perception and in particular speech perception in noise. Why are people so good at this, and why are machines so bad? Oh, and how can we make machines better at it? Chief among those machines being cochlear implants.

I live with my wonderful wife, who is a resident in pediatrics and Children’s National Hospital.
