Name:	Jeffrey A. Weiss, Ph.D.
Affiliation:	University of Utah
Title:	Associate Professor, Bioengineering Adjunct Assistant Professor, Orthopaedics Director, Musculoskeletal Research Laboratories

Dr. Weiss received his B.S. in Bioengineering from the University of California, San Diego in 1989, and his M.S. in Bioengineering from the University of California, San Diego in 1990. He completed his Ph.D. in Bioengineering at the University of Utah in 1994. Dr. Weiss received postdoctoral training in computational biomechanics as a finite element analyst working with the the Applied Mechanics Group and the Methods Development Group at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Dr. Weiss was a Research Assistant Professor of Bioengineering at the University of Utah from 1994-1998, and a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Arizona from 1998-2000. He joined the Bioengineering Department at the University of Utah in August 2000, and he is currently an Associate Professor of Bioengineering and an Adjunct Associate Professor of Orthopaedics. Dr. Weiss has received a number of highly coveted awards, including the ASME YC Fung Young Investigator Award in May 2002, a NSF CAREER Award in February 2002 and a Whitaker Foundation Research Grant in March 1995.
