معرفی
Ross Kevin Maddox, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor in the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at the University of Michigan Medical School. He previously held a joint appointment as Associate Professor in the Departments of Biomedical Engineering and Neuroscience at the University of Rochester (2016–202?). His research focuses on auditory neuroscience, particularly selective attention and listening, and the development of diagnostic tools for hearing loss in infants (e.g., the parallel auditory brainstem response, pABR). He also investigates subcortical neural responses to natural sounds and multisensory integration in complex environments.
Education: Ph.D. and M.S. in Biomedical Engineering (Boston University), B.S. in Sound Engineering (University of Michigan). Postdoctoral training at the University of Washington Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences (I-LABS).
Research interests include neurophysiological methods (e.g., EEG, psychophysics), clinical translation of basic science findings, and improving assistive technologies for hearing disorders. His lab at the Kresge Hearing Research Institute bridges basic science, clinical applications, and methodological innovation.
Notable contributions include the pABR technique for rapid hearing threshold estimation and studies on subcortical responses during speech-in-noise tasks. Current projects emphasize naturalistic auditory processing and translational hearing research.
