Penn State’s PhD in Communication Sciences and Disorders fosters advanced research in language development, speech disorders, hearing loss, neurogenic communication, and cognitive-linguistic rehabilitation. Students engage in interdisciplinary work with neuroscience, psychology, and education, contributing to breakthroughs in diagnosis and treatment. Graduates pursue roles in academia, research centers, hospitals, and language-focused innovation labs.
Developing AI-based speech analysis tools to assist in early detection of developmental speech disorders in bilingual children
Evaluating neural activation patterns in individuals recovering from aphasia using functional neuroimaging during language tasks
Designing a longitudinal study to track auditory processing speed decline in aging adults with mild cognitive impairment
Studying the role of executive function in the development of pragmatic language skills in children with autism spectrum disorder
Creating a mobile assessment platform for screening early language delays in preschoolers in underserved communities
Designing a wearable device for real-time feedback on stuttering episodes and fluency strategies in adolescents
Investigating the efficacy of augmented reality-based cueing systems in improving articulation accuracy in children with apraxia
Developing culturally adapted narrative intervention models for language-impaired children in multilingual classroom settings
Studying the auditory processing load in children with central auditory processing disorder (CAPD) using EEG analysis
Evaluating the impact of cochlear implant age-of-intervention on receptive and expressive language growth trajectories
Designing a computational model of semantic memory retrieval during lexical access tasks in adults with traumatic brain injury
Studying caregiver-mediated intervention effectiveness for toddlers with social communication delays
Modeling the developmental progression of phonological awareness in bilingual versus monolingual populations
Exploring auditory and visual cross-modal integration in children with learning-related communication challenges
