BIO
Peter Weinberg won a scholarship to Cambridge, where he read Natural Sciences. He then obtained a DIC, MSc and PhD from Imperial College, the latter being obtained in the Physiological Flow Studies Unit. After being awarded a Lady Davis Fellowship in the Department of Bioengineering at the Technion, Israel, and further postdoctoral studies in the Physiological Flow Studies Unit, he was appointed Lecturer and then Reader in the School of Animal and Microbial Sciences, University of Reading. In 2004, he returned to Imperial College as a Reader in the Department of Bioengineering, and was appointed Professor of Cardiovascular Mechanics there in 2007.
He has been elected Fellow of the Royal Microscopical Society, Ordinary Member of the Physiological Society, Member of the British Atherosclerosis Society, Committee Member of the London Microcirculation Group, Committee Member of the British Society for Cardiovascular Research, Committee Member of the British Atherosclerosis Society. He founded, and was later president of, the Bioengineering Society (now the Association of Biomedical Engineers, Medical Engineers and Bioengineers - BioMedEng). He was Associate Editor of Atherosclerosis.
For the Department, he has been Director of Postgraduate Studies (Research) and Director of Research, and currently acts as Academic Line Manager. He was the Departmental lead for the Research Assessment Exercise 2008 and the Research Excellence Framework 2014 and has sat on the Departmental Management Committee for over a decade.
Peter has helped organise numerous conferences including the first joint meeting of the British Society for Cardiovascular Research and the British Atherosclerosis Society, and the first UK hosting of the International Symposium on Biomechanics in Vascular Biology and Cardiovascular Disease. He chaired BioMedEng18, which atracted over five hundred delegates.
