135 Millennium - A Marquis Who’s Who Magazine A native of Berlin, Dr. Hans J. Weber was inspired to pursue the sciences by renowned scientists Bernhard Riemann and Albert Einstein. Interested in both mathematics and physics, he attended the University of Frankfurt, where he earned a Master of Science in mathematics and PhD in physics in 1961 and 1965, respectively. Serving as a postdoctoral research associate at the German university for one year, he subsequently immigrated to the United States in 1966, where he attended Duke University as a postdoctoral research associate until 1967. Furthering his professional knowledge, he served in the same capacity at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, where he would continue for the remainder of his career. Beginning in 1968, Dr. Weber served as an assistant professor of physics for three years before being promoted to associate professor in 1971. Holding the position for six subsequent years, he was promoted to full professor in 1977, where he stayed for 26 years. He retired from academia in 2003 after amassing 35 years in the industry. During his tenure at the University of Virginia, he served as a visiting scientist at a number of international universities, including the University of Mainz in Germany and the University of Paris-Sud and University of Lyon in France. Dr. Weber is most renowned for the development of a nuclear force (NN interaction) from quark models and discovering a possible connection between quantum chromodynamics and meson dynamics. He also conducted research in isobars in nuclei. A prolific writer as well, he co- authored the first through third editions of “Mathematics Methods for Physicists” between 1995 and 2005, as well as “Essentials of Math Methods for Physicists” in 2003. He has contributed articles to esteemed scientific journals, including Physics Reports, Springer Tracts, Physical Letters and Physical Review, with a prospective article slated for debut soon. To fund his research in the field, Dr. Weber was a research grantee of the National Science Foundation between 1971 and 1995. He also maintained affiliation with the American Physical Society to remain abreast of developments in the industry. HANS J.
