Jerry Ladd Prince is the William B. Kouwenhoven Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. He has over 44,000 citations, and an h-index of 85.

Prince received a BS degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the University of Connecticut, and a doctorate in Electrical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

His research involves 3-D medical image reconstruction, registration, segmentation, and shape and motion analysis. He is noted for developing the Harmonic phase (HARP) algorithm{{cite web|last1 = Sneiderman|first1 = Phil|title = 'HARP MRI' Takes Faster Look at Heart|url = https://pages.jh.edu/gazette/1999/oct1899/18harp.html |date = 18 October 1999|accessdate = 3 March 2025}} for extracting and processing motion information from tagged magnetic resonance image (MRI) sequences for cardiac motion. He also holds appointments in the departments of Applied Mathematics and Statistics, and Computer Science at Johns Hopkins University, as well as in the departments of Biomedical Engineering and Radiology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. As such, he has been involved in "developing digital head models for faster, more precise diagnoses" of head injuries, such as those seen in sport.{{cite web |last1=Sneiderman-Jhu |first1=Phil |title=HEAD 'TWINS' COULD SAFEGUARD FOOTBALL PLAYERS |url=https://www.futurity.org/digital-head-concussion-football-1666442-2/ |website=Futurity |date=30 January 2018 |accessdate=30 March 2020}}

Prince received a National Science Foundation Presidential Faculty Fellowship in 1993. He was associate editor of IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, associate editor of IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging and as of 2020 was a member of the editorial board of Medical Image Analysis.{{cite web |title=Whiting School of Engineering Faculty |url=https://engineering.jhu.edu/ece/faculty/prince-jerry-l/ |website=Johns Hopkins University |accessdate=30 March 2020}} In 2011, he become a Fellow{{cite web |title=MICCAI Society Fellows |url=http://www.miccai.org/about-miccai/miccai-fellows/|website=The MICCAI Society|accessdate=10 October 2020}} of the MICCAI Society.
