Jessica Huber received her Ph.D. in Speech Science
from the University at Buffalo - State University of
New York in June 2001. She joined the Department of
Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences at Purdue University in
Fall 2001. Professor Huber was trained in the collection
and analysis of physiologic data from the speech subsystems
(respiratory, laryngeal, and supralaryngeal). Specifically,
she uses kinematic, aerodynamic, and acoustic analyses
to describe how these subsystems function in speech.
Professor Huber's primary area of research is speech
motor control in both normal individuals and individuals
with motor speech disorders. Currently, she is working
on an NIH grant to study the respiratory and lip and
jaw kinematics of normal speakers and individuals with
Parkinson's disease. The aims of the grant are to examine
whether increasing sound pressure level elicits a more
normal kinematic pattern from individuals with Parkinson's
disease and to determine if the method used to cue individuals
to increase sound pressure level affects the physiologic
mechanisms used to achieve the higher sound pressure
level.
Professor Huber holds the Certificate of Clinical Competence
in Speech-Language Pathology from the American Speech-Language-Hearing
Association. She has experience working with children
and adults with motor control disorders, voice disorders,
and cleft palate/velopharyngeal incompetency.
