Zack Williams is an MD/PhD candidate in the Neuroscience Graduate Program and Department of Hearing and Speech Sciences at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. Much of Zack’s research focuses on the phenomenon of decreased sound tolerance (including hyperacusis, misophonia, and phonophobia) in autistic and non-autistic adults, which he hopes to better understand using a combination of self-report questionnaires, psychoacoustic tasks, and electrophysiologic measures. Additional areas of interest include the assessment and treatment of co-occurring mental health problems and psychosomatic symptoms in autistic adults, applied quantitative/statistical methods in psychiatry, and the development of novel questionnaires to assess core and associated features of the autism phenotype.
