Andrew M. Weiner
Andrew Marc Weiner (born July 25, 1958 in Boston , Massachusetts ) is an American electrical engineer and physicist who specializes in ultrafast optics and optical signal processing.
Weiner studied electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he received his bachelor's degree in 1979, his master's degree in 1981 and his PhD in 1984. From 1984 he was with Bell Communications Research (Bellcore), where he became manager of the Ultrafast Optics and Optical Signal Processing Research department . Since 2003 he has been Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Purdue University .
At the beginning of the 1990s, he was a pioneer in programmable femtosecond pulse shaping with modulator arrays made of liquid crystals , after developing Fourier synthesis techniques in 1988 to generate arbitrarily shaped pulse shapes in the femtosecond range.
In 2000 he received a Humboldt Research Award for US scientists, in 1997 the International Commission for Optics Prize , in 1990 the Adolph Lomb Medal , in 1999 the William Streifer Award from IEEE LEOS, in 2008 the RW Wood Prize and in 2011 the IEEE Photonics Society Quantum Electronics Award . He is a Fellow of the Optical Society of America (1990) and the IEEE (1995). In 2008 he became a member of the National Academy of Engineering .
Weiner was Vice President of the International Commission on Optics (ICO) and Secretary and Treasurer of the IEEE Lasers and Electro-optics Society (LEOS). He holds 13 patents (2011).
