Professor Chris Weber received his A.B. and Ph.D. in physics from the University of California at Berkeley in 1999 and 2005, respectively. He studied the motion of electron spin in semiconductors. He stayed in Berkeley at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory as a post-doctoral researcher through 2008, using pulsed x-rays to study the bonding states of hot liquids. Since coming to Santa Clara in 2008, Professor Weber has been building an "ultrafast optics" laboratory, which will use a laser that generates pulses of light less than .0001 nanoseconds long. He will study electronic interactions that take place on very short time-scales in magnetic and semiconducting materials, with an emphasis on properties of the electron spin.
