Dr. Steve Bell

Biography

Steve obtained his degree in Natural Sciences, specializing in Experimental Psychology in his final year. He worked for four years in areas such as community forensic psychology and dementia care. During this time, he became aware of the Clinical Scientist training scheme, which he found particularly appealing as it combined direct patient contact with scientific research. He obtained a regional Clinical Scientist training place at Reading and Windsor, funded to take an MSc in Audiology at ISVR, University of Southampton, and then spent a year training at King Edward VII Hospital in Windsor, where he obtained the Certificate of Audiological Competence (CAC) in 1999. Due to his interest in research, he decided to return to ISVR to study for a PhD, which he completed in 2002. Following his studies, he remained at ISVR in various roles, including leading the MSc Audiology program while carrying out clinical work at the University Auditory Implant Service. He is currently the director of programs at the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research.
