Dr Addison Billing’s research is advancing high-density diffuse optical tomography (HD-DOT) methods and gaze-tracking technologies for infant and toddler populations. Currently in her second postdoctoral appointment at the University of Cambridge, her work in the SOUND Lab explores auditory processing and the development of executive functioning in hearing device users.

Addison received a PhD in 2023 from University College London where she worked under the joint supervision of Prof Sophie Scott (Cognitive Neuroscience) and Dr Robert Cooper (Medical Physics). Her doctoral research focused on developing high-density diffuse optical tomography (HD-DOT) techniques to investigate the neural underpinnings of non-verbal vocal communication.
