headshot of Professor Greg Blonder

Prof. Greg Blonder is an amazing polymath and the AmazingRibs.com resident science advisor and mythbuster. He was co-author of our first book, “Meathead, The Science of Great Barbecue and Grilling”. A Professor of Product Design and Engineering at Boston University, he has a physics BS from MIT and a physics PhD from Harvard. He has served as the Chief Technical Advisor at AT&T’s legendary Bell Labs and he holds more than 80 patents.

As an entrepreneur, he has been a partner at the Morgenthaler Ventures, a technology centric venture capital firm that has supplied funds to Apple among others. He has lectured at numerous universities and written a number of articles for Business Week.

His love of food, especially barbecue, has brought him to food science where he conducts original research for this website, and patiently answers our dumb questions.
