Our research combines behavioural, electrophysiological, imaging and optogenetic approaches to study how the auditory brain adapts to the rapidly changing statistics that characterize real-life soundscapes, integrates other sensory and motor-related signals, and learns to compensate for the altered auditory inputs resulting from peripheral hearing impairment.

Most of my research funding comes through my Wellcome Principal Research Fellowship, with additional funding from the Oxford NIHR Biomedical Research Centre, and graduate studentship support from the Wellcome Trust, Action on Hearing Loss, and the University of Oxford.

I am the Director of the University of Oxford Doctoral Training Programme in Neuroscience and Course Director of the one-year MSc in Neuroscience and a Sir Henry Savile Fellow at Merton College. I am a Senior Editor at eLife, and have previously served on the Editorial Boards of the Journal of Physiology, Journal of Neuroscience and Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience. I have been a member of various Interview Committees at Wellcome and at the Royal Society, and am currently a permanent member of the Royal Society Research Grants Board: Biological Sciences. I am also the 'President' of the Scientific Advisory Board of L'Institut de l’Audition in Paris.
