Jaime Undurraga Lucero obtained his PhD in Biomedical Sciences from KU Leuven, Belgium, in 2013. His doctoral research focused on investigating polarity sensitivity in auditory nerves through objective measures of neuronal activity in humans with cochlear implants. After completing his PhD, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at University College London on the 'Advancing Binaural Cochlear Implant Technology (ABCIT)' project, which was supported by the European Commission. He has since joined Macquarie University in 2015, where his research projects explore the basic mechanisms of electrical hearing, focusing on how sounds are encoded in the human brain and the associated neural mechanisms that affect speech understanding. His innovative research methodologies have led to significant insights into how the human auditory nerve responds to electrical stimulation. Additionally, he is involved in projects addressing 'hidden hearing loss', exploring the brain activity of individuals who are clinically considered to have normal hearing but struggle to understand speech in noisy environments. His contributions to the field have earned him recognition, including the 'New Investigator Award' at the 8th International Symposium on Objective Measures in Auditory Implants.
