Biographical Sketch

Dr. Green has been a Fellow of the John B. Pierce Laboratory since 1996. He first came to the laboratory in 1975 as a postdoctoral fellow in the psychology group, working on topics in vibrotactile, tactile and thermal psychophysics. He continued his work on tactile psychophysics at Princeton University before moving to Indiana University in 1980 to conduct a research project on communication of speech information through the skin. In 1983 Dr. Green took a position at the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia , PA , where he studied oral somatosensation and developed the program in Chemosensory Irritation ("chemesthesis"). After returning to the Pierce Laboratory, Dr. Green extended his research into human thermal sensitivity and its relationship to pain while continuing to work on topics in taste, chemesthesis and oral somatosensation.
