Speaker: Alon Greenbaum Assistant Professor Joint BME Dr. Alon Greenbaum is an Assistant Professor in the Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering at North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He earned his BS and MS in Electrical Engineering from Tel Aviv University and his Ph.D. from UCLA, where he conducted pioneering biophotonics research in lens-free microscopy under Prof. Aydogan Ozcan. Driven by a passion for bridging technological gaps, Dr. Greenbaum expanded his research into biological imaging. During his postdoctoral fellowship with Prof. Viviana Gradinaru at Caltech, he developed advanced imaging techniques for visualizing intact bones. His lab now focuses on 3D imaging of organs and improving drug delivery to the inner ear. Dr. Greenbaum’s work has earned him the Good Ventures Postdoctoral Fellowship, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute International Student Research Fellowship, and the Goodnight Early Career Innovators Award. He has authored over 45 peer-reviewed articles and presented his research at more than 30 conferences. See more details •	9	10
