Principal Investigator on the Following Grants
Principal Investigator on Grant No. R01 DC03072 entitled "Quantitative Descriptions of Vocal Fold Dynamics," funded now for two five-year periods from May 1, 1997 - April 30, 2007 by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, a branch of the National Institutes of Health. For uninterrupted funding, the next competitive renewal submission data is July 1, 2006 . High-speed stereoscopic imaging (2000 - 4000 frames per second) is used to quantify regular and irregular vocal fold vibration in hemi-larynx experiments in the laboratory, where the hem-larynx is a model of as symmetric full larynx. Both excised human larynx and in vivo canine laryngeal models are employed in these studies. Hypotheses concerning the mechanisms of regular and irregular vibration are tested and analyzed within the framework of nonlinear dynamics. Mechanisms of irregular vibration in asymmetric vocal folds is probed using highspeed images from the clinic and a finite element model of vocal fold vibration.
Co-Principal Investigator on Grant No. R01 DC04428 with Principal Investigator Diane Bless from the University of Wisconsin-Madison entitled “Phonosurgical Optimization Criteria for Sulcus Vocalis,” a five-year award, funded May 1, 2000 - April 30, 2005. A competitive renewal for this award was submitted on March 1, 2005 . The grant explores the optimization of phonosurgical treatments of sulcus vocalis using clinical/surgical trials, histological studies, laboratory experiments (including an excised larynx set-up as well as a physical model of the larynx), and computer models.
