As of 2019, he is Assistant Professor in the Psychology Department of Concordia University. His laboratory focuses on hearing and cognition, from audiological work with hearing-impaired individuals to cognitive work on language and communication, and on both ends of the lifespan, using behavioral and neuro/physiological techniques (tDCS, pupillometry, skin conductance and heart rate measurements, EEG, fMRI, fNIRS).
