Professor Greenberg is one of
the foremost pioneers in the emerging field of computer graphics, having served
as a leading researcher and teacher in the field since 1965. His research
is primarily concerned with physically based image synthesis and with applying
graphic techniques to a variety of disciplines. His specialties include color
science, parallel processing, and realistic image generation. His application
work now focuses on medical imaging, architectural design, perception, digital
photography, and real-time photorealistic image generation.
Consistent with the interdisciplinary
nature of the field of computer graphics, he is a member of Cornell’s
faculty in the Johnson Graduate School of Management, the Department of
Computer Science, and the Department of Architecture. In recent years
he has taught courses in computer graphics, computer-aided architectural
design, digital photography, and disruptive technologies.
Professor Greenberg was the
founding director of the NSF Science and Technology Center for Computer
Graphics and Scientific Visualization, now in its tenth year. He is the
director of the Program of Computer Graphics and former director of the
Computer-Aided Design Instructional Facility at Cornell. He has published
d more than 200 articles on computer graphics, and many of his students
have been highly recognized in the field, including several who have received
the SIGGRAPH Achievement Award and others who have received Hollywood
Oscars.
In 1987, he received the ACM
Steven Coons Award, the highest honor in the field, for his outstanding
creative contributions in computer graphics. He also received the National
Computer Graphics Association Academic Award in 1989. In 1997, he received
the ASCA Creative Research Award in Architecture. An Honorary Doctoral
Degree from New Jersey Institute of Technology was presented to him in
1999.
