Associate Professor

Speech Pathology and Audiology

Dr. Christian Stilp earned his B.S. in Psychology, M.S. in Experimental Psychology, and Ph.D. in Perceptual Psychology all from the Department of Psychology at the University of Wisconsin. He completed a postdoctoral fellowship in computational perception in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Case Western Reserve University. He then served on the faculty of the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at the University of Louisville before joining ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ in the fall of 2024.

Dr. Stilp directs the Auditory Lab. His research program focuses on how listeners use context in order to understand speech and other sounds in healthy and impaired hearing. He has expertise in acoustic context effects, where changes in the acoustic properties between sounds alter their perception. Some of his current research examines how these processes occur in healthy hearing, how these acoustic changes are altered by hearing aids and cochlear implants, and how to restore the processing of these changes for hearing-impaired listeners’ speech perception. Other research in the lab examines how these processes extend beyond speech perception to auditory perception more generally.
