In my research, the main focus is on how cognitive processes are related to hearing speech in noisy environments.

In my research, the main focus is on how cognitive processes are related to hearing speech in noisy environments. I mainly investigate any differences and similarities between people with and without hearing loss.

Furthermore, I am also interested in perceived listening effort, also in relation to cognitive processes and hearing loss. I have expertise primarily in experimental and statistical methods, cognition and attention and how these processes are different/similar across sensory modalities (e.g., the tactile, visual, and auditory modalities).
