Hello! I’m an Associate Scientist at Smith-Kettlewell, where I investigate auditory spatial perception, haptics, echolocation, and assisted mobility in sighted and blind persons. Previously, I completed my Ph.D. at UC Berkeley and postdoctoral work at MIT, where I remain affiliated.

Optimizing Echoacoustics: An online perceptual study (Under construction)
An online study of echoacoustic perception
Hearing the World: A Remote Study of Auditory Perception
We aim to investigate the nature of auditory perception and how the brain learns rules for interpreting sounds.
Haptic Kinematics of Two-Handed Braille Reading in Blind Adults
This page (currently under construction) accompanies a work-in-progress poster at the 2020 Eurohaptics meeting.
Reverberant Auditory Scene Analysis
The world is rich in sounds and their echoes from reflecting surfaces, making acoustic reverberation a ubiquitous part of everyday life. We usually think of reverberation as a nuisance to overcome (it makes understanding speech or locating sound sources harder),
The Kinematics of Braille Reading
[Under construction] When blind persons read braille, a system of raised dots for tactile reading and writing, how is the information processed? How do a few indentations on the fingerpads translate to linguistic information, and how does the text, in
Human Echolocation
What is echolocation? Sometimes, the surrounding world is too dark and silent for typical vision and hearing. This is true in deep caves, for example, or in murky water where little light penetrates. Animals living in these environments often have

Brabyn Lab
My lab is the home for the Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center funded by NIDILRR with additional support from SKERI and other agencies. Together we address problems of blindness and visual impairment, particularly problems faced by our target populaiton that may
