N. Abraham Cohn was born in 1970. He received the dual B.S.E. degree in Biomedical and Electrical Engineering from Duke University in 1992, where he was an NSF/ERC undergraduate research fellow. At the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, he received M.S. degrees in Bioengineering and Electrical Engineering in 1994 and 1996, respectively, followed by Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering in 1997. He held a graduate fellowship from the Whitaker Foundation.

His research at the University of Michigan Biomedical Ultrasonics Laboratory utilized 50-MHz ultrasound to obtain high resolution elasticity imaging. This included design and development of mechanical, electrical, and algorithmic components of the experimental system. Dr. Cohn is a member of IEEE and has authored multiple papers on ultrasound elasticity imaging.

Since 1997, Dr. Cohn has been researching and developing imaging systems at Philips Medical Systems, Cleveland. He is currently the Director of Global Systems Engineering, spanning the US, Israel, India and China. Dr. Cohn leads a team of 83 engineers and scientists that supports the installed product base and develops new CT and PET/CT systems. His team is in charge of systems engineering activities for both system and sub-system design.
