Research work

My research focuses on voice and upper airway disorders, their contributing factors, and their rehabilitation across the lifespan. I am particularly interested in aging populations and occupational voice users, such as teachers and singers, for whom voice production is central to daily functioning and who are at high risk for voice disorders inc...
