Dr. James C. Weaver is a Senior Scientist at Harvard’s John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.
He received his bachelor's degree in aquatic biology and Ph.D. in marine science from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and went on to pursue postdoctoral studies in molecular biology, chemical engineering, physics, and earth history.
Working at the interface between zoology, materials science, biomedical engineering, and multi-material 3D printing, his main research interests focus on investigating structure function relationships in hierarchically ordered biological composites and the fabrication of their synthetic analogs.
