Yanir Maidenberg

Yanir Maidenberg has received his bachelor of engineering from The Cooper Union and his PhD from Columbia University, both in the field of chemical engineering. He was employed as a research scientist at Unilever where conducted work in Dove soap formulations, micellar water makeup removers, and other personal care products.

He has been teaching full time since 2014 in the fields of chemical engineering, materials science, and chemistry. Prior to joining Embry-Riddle, he has worked at NYU Tandon School of Engineering leading the senior chemical and biomolecular engineering capstone design course as well as serving as undergraduate academic adviser and conducting other coursework.

His interests lie in interfacial science and engineering and its applications in the fields of atmospheric science, environmental cleanup, and drug delivery. He is also keenly interested in pedagogical research.
