Tilak Ratnanather, Associate Research Professor, Dept. of Biomedical Engineering and ICM Core Faculty member, has written a piece featured on Neuroline. In “Expanding Accessibility in Neuroscience Through Speech-to-Text Technologies” Tilak explains how the emergence of cloud computing and machine learning has resulted in greater performance of speech-to-text (S2T) technologies, reducing the error-rate and facilitating the […]
Scientists with disabilities who work in a field related to their disability offer unique viewpoints to academic research, thus enhancing research in their field. A recent article in the spring 2019 issue of Acoustics Today focuses on the contributions of deaf or hard-of-hearing scientists to the field of auditory research in their own words. In […]
Tilak Ratnanather, associate research professor of biomedical engineering and ICM core faculty member, has partnered with the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine Summer Internship Program to provide students with hearing loss opportunities to gain advanced, hands-on experience in STEM disciplines. This year, he launched the STEM-HEAR initiative (STEM for students with Hearing loss to Engage in Auditory […]
ICM welcomes Sarah Flaherty, visiting undergraduate, to the laboratory of Tilak Ratnanather, associate research professor in the department of biomedical engineering, where she is doing summer research as part of the Internships for Undergraduate Scholars in Computational Medicine Program (IUSCMP). The IUSCMP provides extended research opportunities in the lab of an ICM faculty member during the academic […]
In an article published in the November 2017 issue of Notices of the American Mathematical Society, Tilak Ratnanather points out that because of its visual nature mathematics is an attractive discipline to people with hearing loss. It may seem surprising then, that very few people with hearing loss have achieved advanced degrees in Mathematics. In his […]
Tilak Ratnanather, core ICM faculty member and associate research professor of biomedical engineering, received an honorable mention and a prize of $10,000 for the Provost’s Prize for Faculty Excellence in Diversity. Ratnanather earned this honor for his work developing mentoring programs that provide opportunities in STEM for deaf and hard of hearing individuals. “We still […]
Core ICM Faculty Member and Associate Research Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Tilak Ratnanather, is among the authors of a letter published in Science that illustrates the need for a network for deaf and hard-of-hearing (D/HH) trainees and the success of a mentor-based networking model that has evolved over the past 25 years. The Letter, “Community […]
Dr. Tilak Ratnanather, associate research professor of Biomedical Engineering and core faculty member of the Institute for Computational Medicine, is featured on the cover of the Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering Magazine Winter 2016 release.
