Weinstein completed his Ph.D. at Berkeley in 1967 under the direction of Shiing-Shen Chern. His dissertation was entitled "The cut locus and conjugate locus of a Riemannian manifold". He is a former chair of the Department of Mathematics at Berkeley.
He has supervised the Ph.D. theses of 34 students, including Viktor Ginzburg and Steven Zelditch.
In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[2]

gollark: This is due to the recently discovered isomorphism between you, Tux1, and the BL602 microcontroller from Bouffalo Labs.
gollark: Well, you would.
gollark: Or raw processor microcode some days, for that performant performance.
gollark: I write C by hand with the type checker turned off.
gollark: As someone who never makes any mistakes, I don't need a programming language to hold my hand!
