Jeffrey H. Siewerdsen

Jeffrey H. Siewerdsen, PhD, holds the John C. Malone Professorship in Biomedical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University, with joint appointments in Computer Science, Neurosurgery, and Radiology. As Vice-Chair for Clinical and Industry Collaboration, he bridges engineering, physics, and clinical practice to advance medical imaging technologies. His research focuses on image-guided interventions, surgical robotics, and CT innovations for radiation therapy and orthopedics. He leads the I-STAR Lab and collaborates with clinicians to translate imaging systems into clinical practice.

Education: PhD in Physics (University of Michigan, 1998), MS in Physics (1994), BA in Physics & Astronomy (University of Minnesota, 1992).

Research emphasizes 3D imaging systems, metal artifact reduction, and AI-driven reconstruction. He co-directs the Carnegie Center for Surgical Innovation and contributes to the Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety. Notable achievements include pioneering cone-beam CT (CBCT) for radiation therapy and intraoperative imaging. His work addresses clinical challenges through interdisciplinary collaboration.

Awards and recognition include leadership in medical imaging societies and over 350 publications. His lab develops cutting-edge tools for surgical navigation, radiation oncology, and musculoskeletal imaging, with a focus on real-time 3D reconstruction and deformable motion correction.

Labs/Teams: I-STAR Lab (Imaging Science for Technology and Applications in Research), Carnegie Center for Surgical Innovation.
