George H. Weiss (born February 19, 1930 in New York) is an American mathematician at the National Institutes of Health, known for his work on random walks. He did his undergraduate studies at Columbia University, graduating in 1951, and earned a Ph.D. from the University of Maryland in 1958.[1]
In May 2010 the NIH held a symposium entitled "Mini-Symposium: Random Walks in Biology and Beyond", in honor of Weiss's recent retirement.
