I work at UCL in London, in the department of Speech, Hearing and Phonetic Sciences. With my project, I explore the neural mechanisms underpinning auditory attention in humans. Being in my final year of the PhD now, I have conducted studies with normal hearing and hearing impaired people, and explored algorithms commonly implemented in hearing aids.
I analyze my data with machine learning tools designed for auditory attention decoding. During my PhD, I have gained cross-disciplinary knowledge of artificial intelligence, speech processing and the hearing aid industry.
In addition to working in close collaboration with my supervisor, Paul Iverson, I have conducted a study with Sonova AG, a Swiss hearing aids manufacturer and network partner of ENRICH. In this project, I not only conducted research on the neurophysiological differences between normal hearing and hearing impaired people, but also learned about the specific challenges of working in this industry in healthcare.
I am proud to be part of a network connecting researchers with different interests and skills. My own background is very multidisciplinary: I hold a BSc in International Business Administration as well as a BA in English and American Studies. After my bachelor’s degrees, I completed a master’s program in Linguistics at the University of Cambridge, where I specialized in phonetics and prosody.
