C. Daniel Meliza is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Virginia. His research focuses on the neural mechanisms of auditory learning and perception, primarily using zebra finches as a model system to understand how brains process complex vocal communication. Dr. Meliza's research investigates how neural circuits enable auditory learning and perception in songbirds. His lab studies experience-dependent plasticity, examining how early acoustic environments shape auditory processing. They also investigate how birds form internal models of vocal signals and use them to reconstruct degraded communication in noisy environments. This work has implications for understanding speech perception and communication disorders in humans. His recent publications reveal a strong focus on intrinsic plasticity mechanisms in the auditory cortex, computational modeling of neural systems, and how experience shapes neural coding of vocalizations. The work spans from cellular mechanisms to systems-level processing, with increasing integration of computational approaches to understand neural dynamics. Dr. Meliza has received significant recognition for his research: NIH R01 grant from NIDCD to examine mechanisms of intrinsic plasticity in early auditory learning (2021) NSF CAREER Award to study neural mechanisms of auditory restoration (2020) UVA Presidential Fellowship for Collaborative Neuroscience (2022) Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada Postgraduate Scholarship (2023) UVA Double Hoo Award (2023) Dr. Meliza has successfully mentored multiple PhD students including Yao Lu, Samantha Moseley, Christof Fehrman, and Margot Bjoring. His lab is well-funded through competitive grants from NIH and NSF, supporting research into the fundamental neural mechanisms underlying auditory learning and perception. The lab employs a multidisciplinary approach combining behavioral experiments, electrophysiology, computational modeling, and molecular techniques. The Meliza Lab at the University of Virginia operates at the intersection of neuroscience, psychology, and computational modeling. The team uses zebra finches to investigate how the brain processes complex vocal communication, with particular focus on how experience shapes neural circuits during development.
