Jeff Fessler is the William L. Root Professor of EECS
at the University of Michigan.
He received the BSEE degree from Purdue University
in 1985, the MSEE degree from Stanford University in 1986, and
the M.S. degree in Statistics from Stanford University in 1989.
From 1985 to 1988 he was a National Science Foundation Graduate Fellow
at Stanford, where he earned a Ph.D. in electrical engineering
in 1990.  He has worked at the University of Michigan since then. 
From 1991 to 1992 he was a Department of Energy Alexander Hollaender
Post-Doctoral Fellow in the Division of Nuclear Medicine.  From 1993
to 1995 he was an Assistant Professor in Nuclear Medicine and the
Bioengineering Program.  He is now a Professor in the Departments
of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Radiology, and
Biomedical Engineering.  He became a Fellow of the IEEE in 2006,
for contributions to the theory and practice of image reconstruction.
He received the Francois Erbsmann award for his IPMI93 presentation,
the Edward Hoffman Medical Imaging Scientist Award in 2013,
and an IEEE EMBS Technical Achievement Award in 2016.
He has served as an associate editor for
the IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging,
the IEEE Signal Processing Letters,
the IEEE Transactions on Image Processing,
the IEEE Transactions on Computational Imaging (T-CI),
and is currently serving as an associate editor
for SIAM J. on Imaging Science
and a Senior AE for T-CI.
He has chaired the IEEE T-MI Steering Committee and the ISBI Steering
Committee.  He was co-chair of the 1997 SPIE conference
on Image Reconstruction and Restoration, technical
program co-chair of the 2002 IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical
Imaging (ISBI), and general chair of ISBI 2007.
He received the 2023 Steven S. Attwood Award,
the highest honor awarded to a faculty member by the College of Engineering.
His research interests are in statistical aspects of imaging problems,
and he has supervised doctoral research in PET, SPECT, X-ray CT, MRI,
and optical imaging problems.
