He joined the Cornell faculty in 1968 with a joint appointment in the College of Engineering and College of Architecture. He currently serves as Director of the Program of Computer Graphics. In the late 1960s, he constructed the "flying diaper" sculpture, which currently stands at the entrance of the Cornell Plantations. In 1971, Greenberg produced an early sophisticated computer graphics movie, Cornell in Perspective, using the General Electric Visual Simulation Laboratory with the assistance of its director, Quill and Dagger classmate Rodney S. Rougelot. Greenberg also co-authored a series of papers on the Cornell Box. An internationally recognized pioneer in computer graphics, Greenberg has authored hundreds of articles and served as a teacher and mentor to many prominent computer graphic artists and animators.
