Noel Elman, Ph.D, is currently a research scientist at the Institute for Soldier Nanotechnologies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He leads a translational research group focused on biomedical technologies based on nano- and microtechnologies for both diagnostics and therapeutics.
Dr. Elman received his BS and Master’s degrees in Electrical Engineering from Cornell University, where he focused on the development of MEMS and MOEMS micro-(opto)-electromechanical systems. He received his PhD degree in Physical Electronics from the Department of Electrical Engineering at Tel Aviv University in 2006. He then pursued postdoctoral research work at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering working closely with Dr. M. J Cima, Dr. Robert Langer, and Dr. John Joannopoulos, combining and applying a multidisciplinary approach to create novel biomedical microdevices based on MEMS and nanotechnologies for both therapeutics and diagnostics.
