Dr. Hess was born in New York City and raised in Memphis, Tennessee. He has two children, ages 15 and 26, and his wife works as academic physician at the same institution. His family relishes the high quality of life, environment, and culture of the beautiful San Francisco Bay Area.
He completed his residency and fellowship training in Neuroradiology at the University of California, San Francisco after obtaining his undergraduate, master’s and doctorate degrees in electrical engineering at the University of Illinois working in signal and image processing and magnetic resonance imaging. His clinical interests revolve around imaging evaluation of dementia, epilepsy and neurovascular disease, and his research interests lie in high field and diffusion MRI, innovation in MRI, artificial intelligence and in computational neuroimaging. He has published broadly in clinical and scientific journals and lectured nationally and internationally in these areas.
Dr. Hess is a fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering, the International Academy of Medical and Biological Engineering, the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, and the American Society of Functional Neuroradiology and a Distinguished Investigator of the Academy of Radiology & Biomedical Imaging Research. He participates in various leadership roles in the Radiological Society of North America, the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, and the American Society of Neuroradiology and serves as a regular panel member in NIH study sections.
