I lead a translational research program focused on detecting and easing communication difficulty for people with hearing loss and/or stroke. My work bridges next-generation sensor technologies with real-world hearing and communication assessment, integrating physiological sensors, biomarker profiling, and co-designed qualitative methods to capture the moments when communication becomes effortful - or fails entirely.

My goal is to reduce listening fatigue, improve social connection, and prevent isolation by designing solutions that are both technically rigorous and grounded in lived experience. I lead multiple large-scale, industry-funded projects in partnership with Cochlear, Google Research, Sonova, and the Eriksholm Research Centre - ensuring that my research translates directly into hearing technologies, adaptive algorithms, and user-informed rehabilitation strategies.

I am a 2025 Stroke Foundation Future Leader and recipient of the Google Award for Inclusion Research.

Supervision: I currently welcome supervision enquiries from students interested in the intersection of stroke and hearing loss - including peripheral and central auditory processing, care pathways, rehabilitation, and experimental work with hearing devices.
