Research Focus
Dr. Fateme Esmailie's research focuses on developing a new cooling device to prevent noise-induced hearing loss, a common issue that affects millions of Americans. By utilizing innovative cooling strategies and advanced computer modeling, her lab aims to enhance therapeutic hypothermia techniques to protect the cochlea and improve auditory health. The work not only seeks to create effective devices but also provides training opportunities for students in bioengineering and auditory neuroscience.
