Paul S. Weiss (born October 10, 1959) is a leading American nanoscientist at UCLA. He holds numerous positions, including founding editor-in-chief of ACS Nano, Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry and former Director of the California NanoSystems Institute. Weiss has co-authored over 180 research publications and US patents.


The Weiss Group has traditionally focused on understanding and controlling chemistry and materials at the smallest scales. They showed how atoms and molecules communicate through substrates on which they sit at greater than chemical distances. They have exploited self-assembled monolayers as well-defined environments to isolate single molecules for measurements of electron transport, as a means to improve nanofabrication techniques, and as a way to isolate probe molecules on biospecific capture surfaces. The group has now diversified to encompass projects that have wide-ranging impact in the field of nanoscience.

Personal life

He is married to and collaborates with Anne Andrews, a Professor of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences at the University of California Los Angeles.
