Biography:
James Weiland received his B.S. from the University of Michigan in 1988. After 4 years in industry with Pratt & Whitney Aircraft Engines, he returned to Michigan for graduate school, earning degrees in Biomedical Engineering (M.S. 1993, Ph.D. 1997) and Electrical Engineering (M.S. 1995). He joined the Wilmer Ophthalmological Institute at Johns Hopkins University in 1997 as a postdoctoral fellow and, in 1999, was appointed an assistant professor of ophthalmology at Johns Hopkins. Dr. Weiland joined the Doheny Eye Institute in 2001 as part of a larger group of faculty that collectively founded the Doheny Retina Institute. Currently, Dr. Weiland is the Director of the Intraocular Retinal Prosthesis Lab at the Doheny Retina Institute, an Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology, Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California, and an Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering, University of Southern California. Dr. Weiland’s research interests include retinal prostheses, neural prostheses, electrode technology, visual evoked responses, and implantable electrical systems. He is a member of the IEEE EMBS, the Biomedical Engineering Society, and the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology.
