Emily K. Plowman studies swallowing (deglutition) and its disorders, known as dysphagia, using imaging tools such as videofluoroscopy to measure how the throat and swallowing muscles function in both healthy people and patient groups like head and neck cancer survivors and those with ALS. Her work also examines rehabilitation approaches, such as expiratory muscle strength training, and develops measurement tools and reference standards used to assess swallowing function.

Publication output was relatively steady through the mid-2010s to early 2020s, dipped in 2024-2025, and shows a sharp increase in 2026, though this recent spike partly reflects multiple linked outputs (e.g., preprints, datasets, and supplemental files) for the same studies.
