Mingwu Jin

Mingwu Jin is a Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA), where he has held faculty positions since 2011, progressing from Research Assistant Professor to his current rank. He holds a B.S. in Space Physics (1997) and M.E. in Communication and Information System (2001) from Peking University, and a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering (2007) from Illinois Institute of Technology. His postdoctoral training (2007-2009) was at the University of Colorado Denver.

His research focuses on image science, machine learning applications in medical and space physics, and mathematical modeling of physical systems. Key areas include medical imaging (SPECT/MRI/CT), spatiotemporal data reconstruction, and deep learning for low-dose imaging. He leads federally funded projects totaling over $10M, including NIH grants for PET/CBCT advancements and NSF awards for ionospheric modeling.

Dr. Jin has authored 5 books/chapters and over 100 peer-reviewed publications. Awards include the NIH Best Student Paper (2006), ISSI Science Team membership (2020), and TACC Computational Fellowship (2022). He advises 30+ graduate students and postdocs, teaching courses in computational physics and medical imaging. Professional roles include service on NIH review panels and editorial boards for Medical Physics and PLOS ONE.
