Education and career

Weinhold studied at University of Colorado Boulder and received BA in chemistry in 1962. From 1962 to 1963, he was a Fulbright Scholar at University of Freiburg, Germany. He studied under Edgar Bright Wilson at Harvard University for his graduate studies in physical chemistry and obtained his PhD in 1967. He conducted postdoctoral research first at University of Oxford with Charles Coulson and then at University of California, Berkeley.[3]

Weinhold became an assistant professor in 1969 at Stanford University. He moved to University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1976 and stayed there until now.
