After over 15 years at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Prof. Weitz and his research group have moved to the University of Maryland. Weitz joins UMD as a professor of biology and the Clark Leadership Chair in Data Analytics.

In a press release published by UMD’s Department of Biology, Weitz shared the following:

“Given my experience in COVID and my interest in the intersection between viruses, health and climate change, I feel like the D.C. area is going to be a terrific place to grow and evolve,” Weitz explained.

And he can’t wait to get started.

“I couldn’t be more delighted,” he said. “I try to communicate my passion for science whenever I can, and I’m thrilled to bring that spirit to College Park.”
