Dr. Naomi Ginsberg

Biography

Naomi S. Ginsberg is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Department of Physics at the University of California, Berkeley. She is a Faculty Scientist at the Materials Sciences and Molecular Biophysics Integrated Imaging Divisions at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Her research focuses on elucidating electronic molecular dynamics across a wide variety of soft electronic and biological materials, and devising new electron optical imaging modalities to characterize fast and ultrafast processes and nanoscale function heterogeneities. Ginsberg received her Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Engineering Science from the University of Toronto in 2000 and her Ph.D. in Physics from Harvard University in 2007. She held the Glenn T. Seaborg Postdoctoral Fellowship at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and has a strong background in chemistry, physics, and engineering. Ginsberg's work includes leading the STROBE multi-university NSF Science Technology Center devoted to imaging science and is a member of the Kavli Energy Nanoscience Institute at Berkeley. She has received numerous awards including the David and Lucile Packard Fellowship for Science and Engineering in 2011, the DARPA Young Faculty Award in 2012, and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Fellowship in 2015, among others. Her contributions have earned her recognition as a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2021 and she received the Carol D. Soc Distinguished Graduate Student Mentoring Award in 2022.
