NJIT in the News

Haim Grebel, PhD, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at New Jersey Institute of Technology, is the director of the Electronic Imaging Center, and a member of the Materials Science and Engineering Program at NJIT. Funded by the National Science Foundation, the Army Research Office and the Navy, Grebel’s research focuses on the linear and nonlinear properties of sub-wavelength structures and understanding the properties of structures at the nanoscale. On the latter, his group effort concentrates on optoelectronic elements that consist of individual single-walled carbon nanotubes.

Grebel has been instrumental in establishing the nanotechnology research focus at NJIT, both experimentally and theoretically. He is the chair of the Northern New Jersey Chapter of the IEEE Photonic Society and has organized numerous talks and mini-conferences on optically related and nanotechnology-related topics. In addition, Grebel serves as a role model for young faculty members. He currently is supervising three PhD students and four post-doctoral researchers. 

In 2009, Grebel received NJIT's Excellence in Research Award for the Newark College of Engineering. The award is presented annually in recognition of a sustained record of contributions that have enhanced the reputation of NJIT.

He holds a BS degree from Tel-Aviv University, Israel and MS and PhD degrees from the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel, all in physics.
