The Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders welcomes Dana Moser, Ph.D.

Dana Moser has joined the University of New Hampshire as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication Sciences & Disorders in the College of Health & Human Services. She is an ASHA certified speech-language pathologist who specializes in adult neurogenic communication disorders, with a particular interest in aphasia, an acquired impairment in language functioning commonly associated with stroke. Dr. Moser’s research interests include adult neurogenic communication disorders and translational neuroscience with a specific focus in aphasia treatment and recovery. These interests are motivated by a desire to improve treatment outcomes and quality of life in persons with aphasia and related disorders. Previously, she gained research experience in the Center for Clinical Neurosciences at the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston and the Aphasia Laboratory at the University of South Carolina. Along with traditional behavioral measures, she also uses noninvasive neuroimaging techniques, including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) to investigate dynamic brain changes in normal and impaired language processing, including how the brain responds to intervention. Dr. Moser earned her B.A. in Psychology at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi and her M.S.P. in Speech-Language Pathology and Ph.D. in Communication Sciences & Disorders at the University of South Carolina.
