Dr. Monita Chatterjee , a high school student at Charles Herbert Flowers High School , presented her work at the school's research symposium on April 22, 2008. Desirae spent the year as an intern in the
CIP Lab , working on the phonemic restoration of degraded speech with
Fabiola Peredo, Au.D. student, and Dr. Chatterjee. Desirae is currently an undergraduate at Towson University . The study conducted by Desirae and Fabiola was recently published in the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (
