Dr. Weaver is a biophysicist who studies the dynamics and interactions between peptides and lipid membranes. He does this using both experiments and (occasionally) MD simulations. He believes that the best learning takes place outside the lecture and strives to offer multiple pathways for students to demonstrate what they've learned in their courses or in the lab.
