Welcome to the Sensory Encoding and Neurosensory Engineering (SENSE) Lab. We are a diverse and interdisciplinary lab, primarily working on aspects of hearing and balance disorders, ear diseases, and neurosensory prostheses attached to the ear.

Our research encompasses microelectrode arrays, 3D printing of microstructures, sensors to measure body functions, cadaveric research, cell based research, and regenerative and protective therapies.

Prof. Manohar Bance is a practising Otologic and Skull Base Surgeon, and works extensively with hearing and balance disorders, auditory implants (bone conduction implants, cochlear implants, middle ear implants), and balance disorders.

Our lab is highly interdisciplinary, combining engineers, medical graduates, surgeons, physicists, and neuroscientists. We also collaborate extensively with the Engineering Faculty.

We are pleased to consider PhD and postdoctoral applicants, funding permitting.
