Meet the Team!

Paul FaurePrincipal Investigatorpaul4@mcmaster.ca
I am a neuroethologist. My research interests are in animal bioacoustics (echolocation calls and other vocalizations ), neural mechanisms of hearing (electrophysiology) and acoustically-evoked behaviour (e.g. acoustic startle response), and integrative physiology (i.e. hormones and reproduction, cutaneous wound healing).

Shane SeheultPhD Studentseheuls@mcmaster.ca
I am studying auditory electrophysiology, binaural processing, and sound localization.

Marta KanneMSc Studentkannem@mcmaster.ca
I study bioacoustics, social vocalizations, and behaviour.

Tang Tang GuoMSc Studentguos58@mcmaster.ca
I'm interested in behavioural ecology and am studying sibling rivalry and parent-offspring conflict.

Joanna ZhuUndergraduate Studentzhu271@mcmaster.ca
I am studying bioacoustics by measuring changes in isolation calls (i-calls) across development.
