Justin Jeong

Justin Jeong is a Professor of Pediatrics and Neurology at Wayne State University School of Medicine, where he serves as a principal investigator in the Translational Imaging Laboratory. With a background in Biomedical Engineering and Electrical Engineering from University of Southern California, Dr. Jeong combines technical expertise with clinical applications to improve outcomes for pediatric neurological patients.

• B.S. Biomedical Engineering - Yonsei University
• M.S. Electrical Engineering - University of Southern California
• Ph.D. Biomedical Engineering - University of Southern California

His research focuses on advanced diffusion MRI tractography and multimodal neuroimaging to identify structural/functional biomarkers for epilepsy, developmental delays, and neurovascular disorders. Current NIH-funded work develops:

• Deep learning-based DWI methods
• Dynamic tractography with stereotopic rendering
• Integration with PET and electrocorticography

Publications across Neuroimage, Epilepsia, and Clinical Neurophysiology demonstrate expertise in:

• Neural activation propagation
• High-resolution connectome mapping
• Postoperative brain reorganization
• Developmental neuroimaging
• Machine learning applications in MRI
• Neonatal brain abnormality detection

Key collaborations include Eishi Asano, Csaba Juhasz, and Harry Chugani in developing clinical translation of these imaging methodologies.
