William E. Brownell

William E. Brownell, Ph.D. is a Professor in the Bobby R. Alford Department of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, where he is the head of the Cochlear Biophysics Laboratory and is also the Jake and Nina Kamin Chair. He is a biophysicist who studies the mechanics of mammalian hearing. One of his seminal contributions to the field was the observation of electromotility in outer hair cells.^[1]
