Research and Professional Interests
Professor Pandya's professional interests are in the areas of experience-dependent plasticity and speech sound processing. His long-term goal is to
learn how sensory experience influences plasticity in the brain in order to determine how these factors can be manipulated for therapeutic benefit. Dr
Pandya teaches coursework in the area of audiology and hearing disorders. His research interests include:
- Understanding how complex sounds are represented and processed in the cortex
- Determining how acoustic experience drives neural plasticity
- Understanding the neural basis of rehabilitation and learning
