Introducing new Lab Coordinator Jordan Beim

Dr. Jordan Beim has taken over for Andy Byrne as the CATSS/MSP lab coordinator. In addition to supporting the CATSS and MSP labs, Jordan also works as a postdoctoral research associate with Dr. Andrew Oxenham.

Jordan’s postdoctoral work is sponsored in part by Advanced Bionics, where he works to provide open-source software tools for an upcoming cochlear implant hackathon. Jordan is also working on other projects measuring frequency selectivity in cochlear implant users and making wideband measurements of the middle-ear-reflex.

Jordan received his PhD in Psychology from the University of Minnesota working with Dr. Andrew Oxenham and Dr. Magdalena Wojtczak. His thesis work focused on examining the effects of selective attention on cochlear processing.

Jordan is a Minnesota native and lives in St. Paul with his wife Dr. Michelle Chen. Together they enjoy spending time with friends and family, exploring the world through travel, and raising their cat Bella.
