Dr. Jeremy Dahl is a distinguished Biomedical Engineer and leading authority in ultrasonic imaging technologies. He currently serves as Associate Professor with Tenure in the Department of Radiology at Stanford University, where he also directs Research Academic Affairs. His academic journey began with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Cincinnati in 1999, followed by a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Duke University in 2004. After completing postdoctoral training at Duke, he established his research program as Assistant Research Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Duke University from 2007 to 2014, before joining Stanford University where he has steadily advanced to his current leadership position.
Dr. Dahl's pioneering research has transformed the field of medical ultrasound through his development of advanced beamforming and image reconstruction methods that significantly improve visualization in challenging clinical cases. His innovative work on Short-Lag Spatial Coherence Imaging for clutter suppression in echocardiography and Coherent Flow Power Doppler for difficult-to-image patients represents a paradigm shift in ultrasonic imaging capabilities. These techniques have been supported by substantial NIH funding including multiple R01 grants such as R01-EB027100 on improving liver ultrasound image quality and R01-EB013661 on clutter suppression in echocardiography. His laboratory's contributions have made substantial clinical impact, particularly in enhancing diagnostic capabilities for patients with challenging imaging profiles who previously received suboptimal ultrasound examinations.
Beyond his research innovations, Dr. Dahl has emerged as a thought leader in the biomedical imaging community through his influential editorial roles as Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging and IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control. He currently serves on the Board of Governors of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine and previously chaired the Basic Science & Instrumentation Community of the same organization. As Director of Research Academic Affairs in Stanford's Department of Radiology, he shapes the research direction and priorities for one of the nation's leading academic radiology departments. His laboratory continues to advance the frontiers of ultrasound technology with ongoing projects focused on improving imaging in difficult-to-image populations and developing novel ultrasonic devices including high-output intravascular arrays for plaque characterization.
