Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJason Steffener is an associate professor of health sciences and neuroimaging researcher with 14+ years integrating multimodal brain imaging, cognitive testing, and lifestyle data to study cognitive aging. Trained in physics and biomedical engineering (PhD, NJIT), he combines signal-processing expertise in Matlab, LabVIEW, Python and R with advanced statistical modeling to link neural structure and function to behavioral resilience and decline. His work spans fMRI (task and resting), cerebral blood flow, structural and white matter integrity, and has informed studies from chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia to healthy aging and olfaction. A pragmatic methodologist and educator, he has transitioned from hands-on signal processing and startup work to leading labs and teaching graduate neuroimaging and biomedical signal courses. Notably, his research pursues actionable, modifiable behaviors and mechanistic pathways that could slow age-related cognitive loss.
