Most recently, he completed clinical and post-doctoral fellowships at Boys Town National Research Hospital in Omaha, Nebraska. Professor Alexander's research interests focus on auditory processes contributing to speech perception deficits in hearing-impaired listeners and signal processing to overcome them. Ongoing projects include work on frequency-lowering and speech enhancement techniques to improve the quality of hearing aids and an investigation on the feasibility and application of recordings of inner ear activity made in response to speech.
