David N. Levin received his Ph.D. in theoretical physics from Harvard University in 1970 and did research in quantum field theory until 1977, when he entered medical school at the University of Chicago. He joined the faculty after receiving an MD and completing radiology residency at the University. From 1987-1999, he served as Director of Clinical MRI at the University and from 1999-2005 he co-directed the University's Brain Research Imaging Center. He is currently an emeritus professor in the Department of Radiology.

His past research interests have included multimodality 3D brain imaging, computer-assisted neurosurgery, and image segmentation, as well as new methodology for mapping the brain with functional MRI and for using prior knowledge of sparse support to increase the speed of MR image acquisition. His current research is focused on various aspects of signal processing, including nonlinear blind source separation.
