Michael G. Heinz is a Professor in the Department of Speech, Language, Hearing Sciences and the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering at Purdue University. He received his Sc.B. degree in Electrical Engineering from Brown University in 1992 and completed his Master’s in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Johns Hopkins University in 1994. His psychoacoustical research focuses on human listeners' abilities to detect signals in noise. In 2000, he earned a Ph.D. from MIT in Health Sciences Technology with a focus on Speech and Hearing Sciences. His dissertation involved computational modeling to quantify the information in auditory nerve responses in psychoacoustical tasks. Following his doctoral work, he pursued post-doctoral research at Johns Hopkins University, evaluating neural responses related to loudness recruitment in animals with normal hearing and noise-induced hearing loss. Dr. Heinz joined Purdue as an Assistant Professor in 2005, contributing to research on neurophysiological and perceptual responses to sound in normal and impaired hearing. He has been recognized as a Fellow of the Acoustical Society of America and has received multiple awards for his research and teaching.
