About Justin Schneiderman

 

Research

Professor Schneiderman’s interest lies in research, development, and clinical introduction of advanced medical technology. Since coming to Sweden in 2007 he has been dedicated to this by translating new developments from physics and engineering—namely, superconducting sensor technology and systems—to medical applications.

Research and development highlights

  • Leading development of a next-generation MEG system (i.e., “on-scalp MEG”) that promises improved resolution for a broader patient spectrum, as compared to the state-of-the-art

  • Leading an initiative to re-introduce MEG into clinical routine with the epilepsy surgery team at the Sahlgrenska University Hospital

  • Contributed to the first epilepsy patient evaluation with our on-scalp MEG system

  • Coordinated technical aspects of neurophysiological investigations of autism spectrum disorders and stress-related cardiovascular disease risk with magnetoencephalography (MEG)

  • Introduced artificial intelligence-based methods to our MEG analysis routines for the above

  • Contributed to development of a rapid and sensitive point-of-care influenza diagnostics method

  • Constructed and tested an ultra-low field MRI system.

Teaching

Professor Schneiderman’s teaching focus, for engineering as well as medical students, is on the principles that underlie generating, processing, analyzing, and interpreting information about the structures and functions of the central nervous system, with particular focus on the human brain in health and disease.

Justin Schneiderman has supervised 11 PhD students (main supervisor of 3 PhD students, secondary supervisor of 8 PhD students) as of June 2026.

Utilization and outreach

As one of the first MedTech West researchers, Schneiderman initiated several new outreach activities including founding the MedTech West seminar series, designing and publishing the first MedTech West public website, and co-coordinating the first BoIC “A Building of Opportunities” conference. In addition to organizing numerous conferences and seminar series coupled to my research, he has increasingly taken an active role in public and political communication – as well as leadership – as a physicist with a passion for medicine and helping society sustainably thrive.
