معرفی
Bec Poulsen is a Research Fellow at Macquarie University's Hearing Research Centre, with a focus on auditory neuroscience and autism spectrum disorders. Their work bridges neurodevelopmental research with clinical applications through zebrafish models and community-centered studies.
- Education:
- Doctor of Philosophy (Auditory Neuroscience) - Queensland Brain Institute
- Masters of Education and Profession Studies Research (Autism) - Griffith University
- Graduate Certificate in Autism - Griffith University
- Bachelor of Music (Sonology) - Queensland Conservatorium of Music
Research interests center on auditory processing mechanisms in autism and zebrafish models, sound sensitivity disorders, and adaptive behavior changes during developmental transitions. Key projects examine auditory environment impacts on quality of life and neurodevelopmental plasticity.
Recent work analyzes auditory stimulus adaptation in zebrafish brains and develops sound tolerance assessment tools like the MIST-A inventory. Their research combines neurobiological modeling with psychosocial evaluation frameworks.
- Scientific Honors:
- Franklin Women Carer's Scholarship recipient
- Macquarie University Hearing Research Centre EMCR Grant Support Scheme awardee
- QBI Best Student Publication awardee
Collaborations span autism research centers and neurodevelopmental networks, emphasizing community engagement and translational applications.
