Research

I am a PhD student in the SoundPAD (Perception, Application, and Development) Lab at the University of Florida under the advisement of Dr. Kyla McMullen. I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics with a minor in Computer Science from Howard University and a Master of Science degree in Computer Science from the University of Florida. My research focuses on understanding how users detect change within a 3D auditory environment. The application area for this research is auditory guidance for first responders to physical targets. The majority of perceptual 3D audio research focuses on localizing stationary sounds. This research advances knowledge on moving 3D sound perception, especially in ambulatory listening scenarios.
