He now works on software and hardware tools for HARP and the ARL.

Rachael received received her B.S. from Miami University (Ohio) and came to Northwestern University in 2008. Currently, she is investigating spontaneous otoacoustic emissions in humans and characterizing their behavior in various environments. Rachael's primary research goal is to gain a greater understanding of how the auditory system relates to cardiovascular health.asdfasdf

Chun pursued his undergraduate studies at University Putra, Malaysia in Music Technology, and continued in the same field as the focus of his graduate studies at Northwestern University. He currently serves as tech support staff with labs in the fields of Audiology, Linguistics and Speech Physiology, focusing on web development and database design. Chun's goal is to create software that makes it easy for researchers to leverage the power of computing technology to accomplish their research goals.

Ryan is a junior in the McCormick School of Engineering, majoring in Mechanical Engineering. He has been working in the ARL since the fall of 2007, focusing on the efferent system. Ryan began a co-op work program with Etymotic Research, Inc in the summer of 2009. Upon graduation, he plans to continue studying the auditory system from an engineering perspective.

Sumit was educated at the Mumbai University, India, Utah State University, and Purdue University. Prior to joining the faculty at Northwestern University, he was on the faculty at Indiana University, Bloomington. Sumit's primary research interest is in applied cochlear mechanics. As time permits he tries to continue to work in the areas of speech perception in noise and amplification devices.
