Biography

Michael G. Heinz is an Associate Professor at Purdue University, with a joint appointment in Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences and Biomedical Engineering. He received an Sc.B. degree in Electrical Engineering from Brown University in 1992. He then completed a Masters in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Johns Hopkins University in 1994, where, he performed psychoacoustical experiments measuring the ability of human listeners to detect signals in noise. In 2000, he received a Ph.D. from the MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology in the area of Speech and Hearing Sciences.
