Biography
Dr. Yuan earned her PhD in Communication Sciences and Disorders from the University of Florida in 2021, where her doctoral training focused on multisensory integration in speech perception in noise. She then completed 3 years of postdoctoral training at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center in the Department of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, with an emphasis on auditory electrophysiology and neurophysiology. In Fall 2024, Dr. Yuan joined San José State University and founded the Multisensory Integration and Neurocognitive Dynamics (MIND) Lab. Her research integrates behavioral, electrophysiological, and neuroimaging approaches—including fNIRS, EEG, and eCAP—to examine how sensory experience and neuroplasticity shape communication and learning across the lifespan, with the goal of informing individualized, evidence-based clinical practice.
Outside of research and teaching, Dr. Yuan also serves as Faculty Champion in Accessibility for the College of Health and Human Sciences at SJSU. She is a big Disney fan and loves movies and travel!
