Congratulations Dr. Ning Zhou!

        Dr. Zhou, an Associate Professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders was awarded the ECU Five-Year Research and Creative Activity Award. This is one of the most prestigious awards at East Carolina University and reflects the very high regard in which Dr. Zhou is held by her colleagues.

Dr. Zhou’s current research investigates the factors that might affect how the auditory nerve responds to electrical stimulation using psychophysical measures and whether these factors can be used to account for variations in speech outcomes in implant users. She is the director of the Auditory Prosthesis Lab at ECU, which is currently funded by the National Institute of Health. Dr. Zhou also collaborates with cochlear implant teams in the US and worldwide.
