Rachel Ellis is a Senior Associate Professor at Linköping University, focusing her research on the complex processes that influence communication, particularly in older adults suffering from hearing loss. Her primary research interest revolves around cognitive abilities such as working memory and executive functions that are critical for speech perception. Ellis investigates how these cognitive skills impact the ability to communicate effectively, especially in the context of hearing impairments. She explores various aspects of communication, including the interplay between cognitive functions and speech perception, the effects of ageing on communication processes, and the benefits of novel technologies like hearing aids. Her work aims to develop new methods for assessing communication difficulties and improving interaction strategies for individuals experiencing hearing loss. Ellis's research interests encompass speech perception cognition, the impact of ageing on communication, and the role of advanced signal processing in enhancing hearing aid functionality.
