Biography

David Silverman, MD, is a Professor Emeritus of Anesthesiology at the Yale School of Medicine with a distinguished career in trauma and anesthesia. He graduated from Cornell Medical School and completed his internship at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, followed by residency and fellowship in Anesthesiology at the University of Pennsylvania. He served on the faculty at the University of Pennsylvania from 1980 to 1983 before joining the Department of Anesthesiology at Yale. His research focuses on non-invasive monitoring of blood flow and brain temperature, with an emphasis on autonomic influences and microvascular regulation. Silverman is significantly involved in the development of new methods for assessing patient conditions during surgery, particularly in relation to cardiovascular physiology. He co-directs the BTT Interdisciplinary Research Group and has contributed to key discoveries in non-invasive brain temperature monitoring. His work has potential implications for enhanced patient safety during major surgeries, by providing insightful data regarding brain thermodynamics.
