We are broadly interested in the auditory system of vertebrates:
its anatomy, physiology, development and evolution.

Main questions of our research:

Ultrafast temporal processing: How does the inner ear achieve this?

What goes wrong with our hearing with advancing age?

Evolution of sound localization: How do birds localize sound?

Molecular control of development - How does the complex inner ear differentiate?
