Resident Physician
Washington University in St. Louis
Amit Walia is a current fourth year T32 otolaryngology resident physician at Washington University in St. Louis. He completed his medical degree at University of Illinois in Chicago and his bachelor’s degree in chemistry and economics at Northwestern University. He is currently completing the second of a two-year postdoctoral research fellowship funded by the NIDCD. Under the mentorship of Craig Buchman, MD, his research is focused on three broad themes related to electrocochleography in cochlear implant recipients: (1) to improve hearing preservation, (2) to predict speech-perception performance, and (3) to use the cochlear microphonic as a microphone for a potentially fully implantable cochlear implant.
