People

 

John J. Rosowski, PhD

  • Professor of Otology and Laryngology and Health Sciences & Technology,
    Harvard Medical School
    Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary

Degrees

  • PhD in Physiology, University of Pennsylvania, 1979
  • BA in Biology, University of Pennsylvania, 1975

Research Interests

Professor Rosowski studies the relationship between structure and function in the external and middle ear. His recent work includes the measurement of middle-ear function in humans that may lead to improved ear surgery, and a theoretical analysis of hearing in mammals that lived in the age of the dinosaurs.
