Daniel Fogerty

Daniel Fogerty is an Associate Professor in the Department of Speech and Hearing Science at the University of Illinois. His research focuses on auditory perception, speech processing, and the effects of aging on hearing and cognition. Key areas include speech intelligibility in adverse listening conditions, modulation masking, and sensorimotor control in vocal production.

Recent work examines how age-related hearing loss impacts recognition of temporally filtered speech and explores speaker adaptation techniques for bone-conducted speech. He investigates the interplay between cognitive resources and auditory processing in older adults, particularly in noisy environments.

Notable contributions include development of the Spectro-Temporal Glimpsing Index and studies on informational masking in same-talker speech scenarios. His research also addresses atypical vocal quality in genetic disorders like FMR1 premutation, linking sensorimotor dysfunctions to speech abnormalities.

Dr. Fogerty's lab employs advanced signal analysis, acoustic modeling, and perceptual experiments to bridge theoretical and applied audiology. Collaborations span engineering, linguistics, and neuroscience domains.
