Chengjie (Gary) Huang is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Hearing and Speech Sciences at University of Maryland College Park. His primary interest is in how sensory systems utilize various strategies to solve problems encountered in the environment. Trained as an animal physiologist in his Ph.D. at McGill University and his first postdoc at University College London, he investigated questions pertaining to the electrosensory system in Weakly-electric Fish and the auditory system in the Mongolian Gerbil respectively. Here at UMD, he is interested in extending his work to the human auditory system, focusing on simultaneous electrophysiology and pupillometry measurements to understand how the brain processes speech sounds and the role of listening effort in age-related hearing loss individuals.
