Dr. Sunil Puria is an Amelia Peabody Scientist at Mass. Eye and Ear. He studies fundamental and applied cochlear and middle ear mechanics. His efforts to provide an understanding of auditory mechanisms with mathematical models rooted in realistic anatomy and material properties have been fruitful in the past, and will be further developed through his continued research.

His repertoire includes finite element modeling, laser Doppler vibrometry, and the use of modern imaging techniques such as OCT, two-photon, and micro-CT into his research.
