His research integrates audiology, speech-language pathology, and speech science, focusing on the pathophysiology and rehabilitation of voice disorders. He is a leading developer of the Rehabilitation Treatment Specification System for voice therapy, applying ambulatory monitoring and computational modeling to quantify vocal hyperfunction. His recent work includes validating simplified vocal efficiency metrics, classifying phonotrauma severity from vocal fold images via soft ordinal regression, and trialing pre- and post-operative voice therapy (PAPOV) for benign vocal fold lesions. He also investigates the Daily Phonotrauma Index and systematic interventions for presbyphonia.
