The mathematician Shmuel Aaron Weinberger (born February 20, 1963) is an American topologist.
He completed a PhD in mathematics in 1982 at New York University under the direction of Sylvain Cappell.
[1] Weinberger was, from 1994 to 1996, the Thomas A. Scott Professor of Mathematics at the University of Pennsylvania,[2] and he is currently the Andrew MacLeish Professor of Mathematics and chair of the Mathematics department at the University of Chicago.
[3] His research interests include geometric topology, differential geometry, geometric group theory, and, in recent years, applications of topology in other disciplines.
In addition he has given invited lectures at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Zürich (1994), a mini-symposium at the European Congress of Mathematics (2008), the American Mathematical Society (1989), the Canadian Mathematical Society (2006), the Association for Symbolic Logic (2001), and Pembroke Pines Charter High School (2021).
