Joseph Webster Stayman is an assistant professor of biomedical engineering at the Whiting School of Engineering and Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. He is also co-director of biomedical engineering undergraduate program. His research focuses on medical imaging systems modeling, design, and optimization.
Stayman’s lab conducts research within the fields of emission tomography and transmission tomography (CT, tomosynthesis, and cone-beam CT). His team explores 3D reconstruction, including model-based statistical/iterative reconstruction, regularization methods, and modeling of imaging systems. They are developing a framework for penalized likelihood (PL) reconstruction, combining statistical models of noise and image formation with incorporation of prior information, including patient-specific prior images, atlases, and models of components/devices known to be in the field of view.
Stayman received his bachelor’s from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He earned his master’s and his doctoral from the University of Michigan.
