Dr. Bromberg is a senior lecturer at the Racah Institute of Physics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. His B.Sc. in Physics and Mathematics is from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He received his M.Sc. in Physics from Tel Aviv University, and his Ph.D. in Physics from the Weizmann Institute of Science. He then went on to a postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard Medical School (2010-2012), followed by another postdoctoral fellowship at Yale University (2012-2015).

He is an experimental physicist who studies quantum optics and other related topics. His work investigates what happens to photons, the fundamental particles that light is made of, when they are sent through opaque materials. This method may potentially have applications such as imaging through the skin or communicating through fog. Dr. Bromberg has co-authored 31 peer reviewed articles, is known as an excellent collaborator, and has already had an impact on the scientific community. At the same time, he is extremely committed to his teaching, and hopes to expose as many people as possible to the joy of doing science.
