In 1913 he graduated with a gold medal from a commercial school in Samara . Member of the First World War (1915-1916).

He graduated from the LPI (1922). Since 1923 he worked at the LMZ named after I.V. Stalin . Since 1929, he simultaneously taught at the LPI and VTUZ at the LMZ named after I.V. Stalin, professor (1935), doctor of technical sciences (1947).

In the 1920s he was sent to England for three months to study turbine engineering. Since 1930, he participated in the creation of steam and gas turbines, then he headed the design bureau, where the designs of turbines of his design were created - condensing, with adjustable steam selection.

In 1931, under his leadership, the country's first steam turbine with a capacity of 2–5 MW and a shaft rotation speed of 3,000 rpm was designed, followed by a series of condensing turbines with adjustable extraction of high-power steam.

In 1934-1938, according to his projects, a unique single-shaft high-speed turbine with a capacity of 100 MW was built.

Since 1938, the chief designer of steam and gas turbines LMZ. On April 29, 1938 he was arrested, released on October 28, 1939 .

By 1941, under the direction of Greenberg, 9 types of powerful turbines were designed and built. During the war, he was one of the organizers at the Sverdlovsk Turbo-Motor Plant for the production of spare parts for the entire turbine park of the USSR.
