Alexander Green is an Assistant Professor in the Biomedical Engineering Department at Boston University. Dr. Green obtained his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from Northwestern University in 2010 and his B.A.Sc. in Engineering Science from the University of Toronto in 2005. He conducted postdoctoral research at the Wyss Institute at Harvard. He was an assistant professor at Arizona State University from 2015 to 2020.

Dr. Green has pursued research in diverse areas ranging from synthetic biology to self-assembly to carbon nanomaterials with applications in flexible electronics, energy, and low-cost diagnostics. Dr. Green is an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellow in Computational & Evolutionary Molecular Biology (2017) and the recipient of an NIH New Innovator Award (2017), a DARPA Young Faculty Award (2017), a DARPA Young Faculty Award Director’s Fellowship (2019), and an Arizona Biomedical Research Commission New Investigator Award (2017). He has published over 60 peer-reviewed publications that have accumulated over 10,000 citations, including seven in Cell, Nature, Nature Nanotechnology, and Nature Chemistry. Dr. Green has eight granted and 24 provisional patents. He has received over $6 million in external funding since starting his independent career.
