Auditory Biomechanics - I
Developed an optical coherence tomography system to measure the tissue
vibrations inside the inner ear in live rodents. Used it to investigate soundprocessing in the inner ear.

Auditory Biomechanics - II
Developed a multi-scale computational model of the hearing organ cochlea
predicting many measurements in the cochlea

Current/Future Research
Acoustics
Improve the transmission loss performance of vibro-acousticsilencers
Acoustic characterization of porous materials including periodic
foams
Noise control for electronic cooling applications
Auditory Biomechanics
Design novel microscale sensors to measure both pressure and
vibration in the inner ear
Wave propagation mechanisms involved in otoacoustic
emissions (which are sounds emitted by the ear)
Processing of sound by the inner ear
