She has been supervised by myself, Associate Professor David McKinnon (CSU), Dr Loraine Fordham (CSU), and Dr Teresa Ching (Australian Hearing). Her thesis contains 7 publications (see below) with commentary binding it together. During her PhD she worked with over 400 children and their families within the Longitudinal Outcomes of Children with Hearing Impairment (LOCHI) study. Congratulations Kate!
