Eric R. Weeks (born 1970 in Downers Grove, Illinois) is an American physicist. He completed his B.Sc. at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign in 1992. He obtained a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Texas at Austin in 1997, working under Harry Swinney, and later completed post-doctoral research with David Weitz and Arjun Yodh at Harvard University and the University of Pennsylvania. He is currently a full professor at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia (as of September 2010).[2]
He is most well known for his work on various aspects of the jamming (physics) phenomenon, specifically in colloidal glasses[3][4] and colloidal supercooled liquids,[5][6] although his research interests extend broadly into other types of complex fluids, as well as microrheology[7][8] and granular materials. During his PhD in Texas, he studied Nonlinear Dynamics.
In 2011, he was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society.[9]
