He then joined University of Florida (UF) in 2005 as a founding senior faculty of then newly established biomedical engineering department and became the J. Crayton Pruitt Family endowed professor in 2008 at UF. Dr. Jiang joined University of South Florida (USF) in 2017 as the founding faculty of medical engineering department and the founding Director of USF Center for Advanced Biomedical Imaging. In his career, Dr. Jiang has used optics in highly innovative ways to make pioneering and seminal contributions to several fields including diffuse optical tomography (DOT), photoacoustic tomography (PAT), fluorescence molecular tomography (FMT), and bioluminescence tomography (BLT). He has published nearly 500 peer-reviewed articles, and is the author of four noteworthy books, all of which were the first books in their respective fields: Diffuse Optical Tomography: Principles and Applications (CRC Press, 2010), Photoacoustic Tomography (CRC Press, 2014), Thermoacoustic Tomography (IOP Publishing, 2020) and Fluorescence Molecular Tomography (Springer, 2022). Dr. Jiang was elected as Fellow of American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) in 2008, Fellow of International Society for Optical Engineering (SPIE) in 2007, and Fellow of Optical Society of America (OSA/OPTICA) in 2006. Outside of his research/teaching, he enjoys practicing Chinese Calligraphy and paintings (ink/color pencil, watercolor, pastel, acrylic, and oil).
