Daniel Mirman PhD

Dr. Daniel Mirman is currently working as a Senior Lecturer at the University of Edinburgh School of Philosophy, Psychology and Language Sciences. He received a Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry and Psychology from Cornell University in 2000 and his Ph.D. in 2005 from Carnegie Mellon University and the interdisciplinary cognitive neuroscience program in the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition. His doctoral work combined behavioral experiments and computational modeling to study how auditory perception and language knowledge interact during speech perception. He then completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Connecticut where he learned eye-tracking methods for online measurement of speech comprehension and began to study how knowledge of concepts is organized in the mind. In 2009 he joined the Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute (MRRI) where he began his research on the neural organization of spoken language processing in individuals with language deficits following stroke (aphasia). From 2013 to 2016 he was on the faculty of the Department of Psychology at Drexel University while continuing his work at MRRI.
