Ian Bruce is an Assistant Professor in the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, the Barber-Gennum Chair in Information Technology, and an Associate Member of the department of Psychology at McMaster University.
Prior to joining McMaster in 2002, he held a postdoctoral fellowship in the department of Biomedical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. Professor Bruce obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Melbourne in Australia.
His research is focused on using engineering methods to study and model the physiological mechanisms that contribute to hearing loss and tinnitus. The results of these studies are then applied to the improvement of assistive devices for the hearing impaired such as hearing aids and cochlear implants.
Ian Bruce has been involved in developing research and academic programs in biomedical engineering at McMaster, including an undergraduate program in Electrical and Biomedical Engineering and the new McMaster School for Bioengineering.
