Bennett Landman

Dr. Bennett Landman is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Vanderbilt University, where he also serves as the Director of the Vanderbilt Lab for Immersive AI Translation (VALIANT) and leads the Medical-image Analysis and Statistical Interpretation (MASI) lab. He earned his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Johns Hopkins University in 2008, following an M.Eng. and B.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Dr. Landman's research focuses on medical image processing, particularly in neuroimaging, with an emphasis on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) related to Alzheimer's disease and aging. His lab has developed a comprehensive medical image processing system that supports over 400 IRB-approved projects, handling more than 100,000 imaging sessions. Dr. Landman aims to integrate image processing technologies with electronic health data to enhance personalized medicine and improve anatomical understanding. His work has significant implications for advancing biomarkers in clinical studies and addressing challenges in medical imaging through artificial intelligence.
