Behavioral project on the role of visual information in the categorization of spectrally degraded fricatives (poster ASA Spring 2011) with Matt Winn.

MEG project investigating the effects of pitch context on auditory evoked responses to vowels (poster NLC 2010).

MEG study of factors modulating the audiovisual speech advantage (poster CNS 2010).

Evoked auditory resposes reflect language-specific processing of ejective sounds in Amharic and English listeners (poster NLC 2009) with Josh Riley and Brian Dillon.

Steady state responses to audio-visual signals using MEG with Julian Jenkins III (Biology) (poster SFN 2008). Paper to appear in Brain Topography (2011).

Investigating modified Locus Equations for stop place categorization (poster ASA 2005).

As an undergraduate at the University of Kansas, I majored in Linguistics and Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences & Disorders. In the KU Phonetics & Psycholinguistics Lab I worked with Allard Jongman on a project on the acoustic and perceptual properties of emphatic consonants in various Arabic dialects. For my honors thesis, I used locus equations to investigate acoustic invariance in English voiced stop consonants.

In the SPLH department I worked with Ed Auer in the Perceptual Neuroscience Lab on the perception of audio-visual spoken word recognition in individuals with normal hearing and individuals with hearing loss.
