Hari Bharadwaj is an Assistant Professor at Purdue University with a joint appointment in the Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences, and the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering. He received a B.Tech. in Electrical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, in 2006. He then received M.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 2008. In 2014, he completed a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering at Boston University with a dissertation on how the representation of sound information by the auditory pathway in the brain differed across individuals, and what consequence it might have for listening in complex multi-source environments such as crowded restaurants and busy streets. Hari's post-doctoral work at the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging at Massachusetts General Hospital used neuroimaging techniques to study the cortical processing of complex sounds in school-aged children, including those with autism spectrum disorders. In 2016, he joined the faculty at Purdue, where his lab integrates behavioral experiments, computational modeling, and an array of non-invasive physiological measurement tools to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying auditory perception in humans. Hari is a member of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology and the Acoustical Society of America. At Purdue, he teaches Biomedical Signal Processing (BME 595), and Implantable Devices (SLHS 553).
