Profile

Dr. Fan-Yin Cheng is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at Montclair State University, where she directs the Brain & Ear Auditory Neuroscience (BEAN) Lab. She earned her Ph.D. in Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences from The University of Texas at Austin in 2022 under the mentorship of Dr. Craig A. Champlin and Dr. Spencer B. Smith.

Her research investigates how the auditory system represents speech and how sensory and cognitive processes interact to support communication in real-world listening environments. Using behavioral and electrophysiological approaches, her work integrates auditory neuroscience and clinical audiology to develop objective neural measures of speech perception.

Research in the BEAN Lab focuses on three areas: (1) neural mechanisms of speech encoding, (2) speech processing in complex listening environments, and (3) objective neural biomarkers for clinical audiology.

The long-term goal of the BEAN Lab is to translate advances in auditory neuroscience into objective tools that improve the assessment and rehabilitation of hearing and communication disorders.
