About David Weld
Professor David Weld received a B.A. in physics from Harvard University and a Ph.D. in physics from Stanford University. After working as a postdoctoral researcher and research scientist at MIT, he joined the faculty at UC Santa Barbara.
Current research interests of the Weld group include quantum and classical transport, Floquet phases of matter, quasicrystals, and quantum interactive dynamics. The Weld group’s research in experimental ultracold atomic physics has been recognized with an NSF CAREER award, a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists & Engineers (PECASE), a Sloan Fellowship, a Young Investigator Prize from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, and an Experimental Physics Investigator award from the Moore Foundation.
