Hello, I am Yu Gan. I will be an Associate Professor with Tenure as of Sep 1st, 2025 in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Stevens Institute of Technology. I earned my Ph. D. degree from Columbia University in the year of 2017 under the supervision of Dr. Christine P. Hendon in the Structure Function Imaging laboratory. Prior to Stevens, I was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Alabama until 2021. I am the awardee of NSF CAREER award. My research covers a wide spectrum of machine learning and deep learning techniques that facilitate biomedical imaging and dig out hidden information from medical/biomedical images with a special interest in generative AI, agentic AI, and trustworthy AI. I am the recipient of multiple research awards supported by National health institute (NIH, R01, R21), NJ Health Foundations, National science foundation (NSF, CAREER, CRII), US Department of Agriculture (USDA, Data Science), Research Corportation for Science Advancement, Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation, and Burrough Wellcome foundation.  He serves as an Associate Editor for Medical Image Analysis. He is a senior member of IEEE and SPIE.

Research Position: We have PhD position(s) opening in our Intelligent Imaging and Image Processing Lab for Spring and Fall enrollment. Please reach out Dr. Yu Gan (ygan5@stevens.edu) for more information.
