Biography

Heather Dial is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders. She received her M.A. and Ph.D. in Psychology from Rice University, her B.S. in Psychology from the University of Houston, and completed a postdoctoral fellowship in Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences at The University of Texas at Austin. Her primary research interests are in the cognitive and neural processes supporting speech perception and language comprehension, with a focus on how these processes are impacted in stroke-induced and primary progressive aphasia. She is also interested in cognitive and neural processes supporting recovery of speech and language in these populations.
