Summary
Emily Han is a postdoctoral researcher with nine years of experience probing how peripheral sensory signals are processed by central auditory pathways, with particular focus on aging and hearing loss. Based at the Chinese Institute for Brain Research after a PhD in Biological Sciences from Purdue, she blends electrophysiology and anatomical approaches to dissect subcortical auditory changes. Emily’s interdisciplinary outlook draws on psychology, speech and hearing sciences, and phonetics, enabling translational perspectives on sensory decline. She is also committed to science communication and pedagogy, having supported undergraduate research and lab instruction for nearly a decade. An understated strength is her continuity of inquiry—she has pursued the same core research questions from graduate student experiments through her current postdoc, giving her deep technical and conceptual expertise.
