He is Professor of Biomedical Engineering at the College of Medicine, University of California, Irvine and at the The Henry Samueli School of Engineering at Irvine. He is also the Director of the Beckman Laser Institute and Medical Clinic at Irvine. Tromberg received a B.A., in Chemistry from Vanderbilt University in 1979, and a M.S.(1983) and Ph.D.(1988) in Chemistry at the University of Tennessee, working at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. He is a specialist in the area of the interaction of laser radiation and tissue, and particularly in using diagnostic techniques including optical tomography and other methods such as photon migration-a technique of which he is the developed-to analyze the effects of laser energy on tissue. He has also worked more generally in the field of biomedical optics including tissue optical spectroscopy, frequency-domain photon migration, non-linear microscopy, and photodynamic therapy.
