Dr. Eisenberg is a lecturer for the Professional Masters of Engineering Program at the University of Maryland , College Park . He received a Ph. D. in Fluid Dynamics and Heat Transfer (1974) and a M.S.E. in Applied Physics (1968) from the Catholic University of America. He received a B.S. in Physics from the George Washington University (1964).

Dr. Eisenberg has been engaged in risk and safety analysis for over 30 years, while working for the federal government and private companies, and as an independent consultant. He has analyzed the transport of hazardous material by various transportation modes, including toxic and radioactive material. He has especially deep and broad experience in analyzing risks from the geologic disposal of nuclear waste; his position on retiring from federal government service was Senior Advisor on Performance Assessment at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. He has analyzed the risks to the public from releases of radioactive material to the environment and risks to occupational workers from handling of radioactive material. Early in his career he researched analog and digital fluidic control systems. Dr. Eisenberg has published over 75 papers and reports, many of which are in peer-reviewed journals.

Dr. Eisenberg has taught the course, “Environmental Risk Analysis”, ENPM-627, annually since 2000. He coauthored a textbook for this course, which was published in 2007: “Quantitative Environmental Risk Analysis for Human Health”, (ISBN: 978-0-471-72243-4). He has also taught the course, “Contaminant Transport and Fate in the Environment”, ENPM-655, 5 times at the University of Maryland , since 2002.
