Varun Goyal, PhD
Postdoctoral Scholar, Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery
BioDr. Varun Goyal is a Postdoctoral Scholar in Otolaryngology at Stanford University, applying his expertise in nonlinear systems, biomechanics, acoustics, and vibrations to advance the understanding of hearing. He earned his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Michigan, where he worked at the intersection of mechanics and biological systems to develop computational frameworks for mechanosensory transduction in mammalian ears, with a particular focus on inner-ear hair bundles.
His background spans structural and fluid dynamics, finite element analysis, and control systems, with a strong emphasis on applying these techniques to problems in ear physiology. Dr. Goyal also conducted research at the Center for Nondestructive Evaluation (CNDE) during his bachelor's and master’s studies at IIT Madras, where he designed multifunctional acoustic waveguides for ultrasonic energy transmission and temperature sensing.
He has led and contributed to high-impact R&D projects across leading academic institutions, including RWTH Aachen University in Germany, Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, and Nagaoka University of Technology in Japan, as well as industry partners such as Mondelez International and Plasma Giken Co., Ltd. in Japan. Driven by curiosity and a commitment to understanding how complex systems operate, Dr. Goyal's work integrates theory, computation, and experiment to address fundamental questions in auditory biomechanics. -
Stefan Heller, PhD, MS
Edward C. and Amy H. Sewall Professor in the School of Medicine and Professor of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery (OHNS)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur research focuses on the inner ear, from its earliest manifestation as one of the cranial placodes until it has developed into a mature and functioning organ. We are interested in how the sensory epithelia of the inner ear that harbor the sensory hair cells develop, how the cells mature, and how these epithelia respond to toxic insults. The overarching goal of this research is to find ways to regenerate lost sensory hair cells in mammals.

Robert K. Jackler, MD
Edward C. and Amy H. Sewall Professor, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsSince the early 2000s, study of tobacco industry marketing has become my primary field of research. Motivated by the lack of a comprehensive and well-organized compendium of tobacco advertisements, and the relative paucity of scholarly research analyzing the marketing practices of the industry, I chose to focus my research on advertising. The overarching purpose of my research has been to reveal the behavior of the tobacco industry in recruiting and retaining its consumers with the goal of infor
