Since arriving at RIT/NTID three years ago, Dr. Matt Dye has overseen nine deaf or hard-of-hearing students in his deaf x lab, as well as multiple deaf or hard-of-hearing graduate students, post-baccalaureates and postdocs as well.  Students who work in Dr. Dye’s lab serve critical roles in the research process and have opportunities to engage in multiple facets of externally funded research: from training in ethical conduct to lab skills to writing.  Currently PI on two NSF awards and one NIH award, Dr. Dye’s research primarily focuses on selective visual attention in deaf individuals and currently includes temporal aspects of visual attention in deaf children.
