Jonathan H. Siegel, PhD
Principal Investigator

Dr. Siegel is a neurobiologist with a long-standing interest in auditory physiology. He is an associate professor in the Roxelyn and Richard Pepper Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, as well as an associate professor of neurobiology in the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences. Siegel’s primary research interests are otoacoustic emissions and hair cell physiology. Siegel has written and lectured widely on cochlear physiology and ultrastructure. He is a reviewer for a number of scientific journals, including Audiology & Neurotology, Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, and the Journal of Neuroscience. The courses he teaches include “Advanced Neurobiology and Physiology,” “Neurobiology and Communication,” and “Otoacoustic Emissions: Theory and Practice.” He completed his undergraduate studies in physics at the University of Arkansas and his PhD in physiology and biophysics from Washington University in St. Louis.
