Speaker's Bio:
Professor Shimon Weiss received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the Technion, Haifa, Israel in 1989. From 1990 until 2001 he was a staff scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. Since 2001, he is a Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry and a Professor of Physiology at UCLA. Prof. Weiss is a member of the California Nanosystems Institute, the Molecular Biology Institute, and the Crump Institute for Molecular Imaging, all at UCLA, and he is a member of the scientific advisory board of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Prof. Weiss was the recipient of the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab Outstanding Performance Award in 1993, the Michael and Kate Barany Biophysical Society Award in 2001, and the Rank Prize of the Royal College of Physicians, London, in 2006. He is a fellow of the Optical Society of America. Prof. Weiss single molecule biophysics research group develops and applies cutting-edge techniques from fluorescence spectroscopy, fluorescence microscopy and biological imaging to studying proteins.
