Xin Luo

Xin Luo is an Associate Professor at Arizona State University (ASU), affiliated with the College of Health Solutions and the School of Life Sciences. He holds interdisciplinary faculty status across departments. His research focuses on understanding pitch perception mechanisms in acoustic and electric hearing, with applications to cochlear implant technology. Luo completed his Ph.D. at the University of Science and Technology of China and received postdoctoral training at the House Ear Institute.

Education: Ph.D. in Auditory Science from the University of Science and Technology of China. Research interests include cochlear implants, speech perception, lexical tones, psychoacoustics, and pitch perception. He leads the Auditory Implant Lab (https://auditoryimplantlab.com/) and maintains an active Google Scholar profile (https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=HdmRD9kAAAAJ).

Recent research emphasizes neural health correlates of pitch perception in cochlear implant users and the development of novel sound-processing strategies. Grants include NIH funding for projects on pitch perception and vocal emotion recognition. Teaching involves advanced courses like Hearing Science (SHS 311) and cochlear implant special topics.

Notable collaborations include work with Ayoub Daliri on bimodal hearing effects and projects funded by the Department of Defense. Luo’s lab explores interdisciplinary areas such as musical emotion recognition and quality-of-life outcomes for implant users.
