Nelson is a biomedical engineer with several years of experience in signal processing and data analysis. He enjoys building tools to aid in easily and accurately understanding complex research data. Speech and hearing are particularly fascinating to him as they are broadly taken for granted but in fact employ highly complex physiological mechanisms to achieve their ends. Prior to joining the IHP, he worked on research projects related to characterizing the sounds experienced by individuals with tinnitus. At the IHP, he's a member of both the Speech and Social Interaction Lab and the Speech Physiology and Neurobiology of Aging and Dementia Lab. He shares responsibility in analysis, collection, and management of data for several ongoing projects across both labs. He is additionally pursuing an MS in Robotics at Northeastern University, which he hopes to apply to medical robotics or rehabilitative device development in the future.
