Background

Dr. Stevens is an intensive care physician who treats patients with critical neurological illnesses and injuries. He has special expertise in the care of traumatic brain injury, stroke, brain hemorrhage, and in the management of patients after cardiac arrest. Following medical studies, Dr. Stevens completed residency in anesthesiology and fellowships in critical care medicine and neurocritical care. He also completed postdoctoral research training in molecular neurobiology, cellular electrophysiology, advanced magnetic resonance imaging, and brain mapping. He is Director of Precision Medicine and Chief of the Division of Informatics, Integration and Innovation in the Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine. He also serves as Associate Director of the Johns Hopkins Precision Medicine Center of Excellence in Neurocritical Care. He has secondary faculty appointments in the Johns Hopkins Department of Biomedical Engineering, the Institute for Computational Medicine, the Institute for Cell Engineering, and the FM Kirby Center for Functional Neuroimaging. Dr. Stevens is an Associate Editor for the journals Thorax, Critical Care Medicine, Neurocritical Care, Annals of Intensive Care and Frontiers in Neurology.

Research & Publications

Research Summary

Dr. Stevens is recognized internationally for innovations he has developed in the treatment of patients with critical neurological illness and injury. His research leverages advanced neuroimaging and physiological measurements, mechanistic modeling, and data science. He created the Laboratory for Computational Intensive Care Medicine (LCICM), an interdisciplinary research group which applies AI to decode high-dimensional health data, with the goal of increasing precision and personalization in the care of critically ill patients.

Lab

The Stevens Lab (Laboratory of Computational Intensive Care Medicine) leverages robust theoretical paradigms, high-resolution multidimensional data, and artificial intelligence to enhance resilience and recovery of critically ill neurological patients.
