REPLY [3 votes]: Answering "I wonder if there are any Deaf professors at Gallaudet who do active research? They seem to offer courses in complex analysis and abstract algebra there, according to their website at least." ... there is at least one that I know of at this time.  Over the years there have been a number of deaf math professors at Gallaudet, several with PhDs.  But admittedly few continued to do serious research in their fields.
