My research focuses on innovative approaches to rehabilitation for individuals with neurogenic communication and swallowing disorders. Currently, I am investigating the use of AI voice cloning to support communication for people living with ALS. My broader interests also include the evaluation of emerging rehabilitation technologies, and equitable access to evidence-based interventions that support participation and quality of life.
