Educated at the Belfast Royal Academy and Clare College, Cambridge (BA 1964, PhD 1968) he held positions at University of California , University of Chicago , Harvard and Yale , ultimately holding professorships at Heriot-Watt , and University College Dublin before becoming, in 1984, Erasmus Smith's Professor of Natural and Experimental Philosophy at TCD.[2]
Together with his graduate student Robert Phelan , Weaire came up with a counter-example to Lord Kelvin 's conjecture on which surface was the most economical way to divide space into cells of equal size with the least surface area . This counter-example is now referred to as the Weaire–Phelan structure . This structure was an integral part of the design of the aquatic centre used in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing .[3]
In 1971, together with Michael Thorpe , he introduced the Weaire–Thorpe model for electronic structure calculations. This has found application in the theory of amorphous insulators .[citation needed
Weaire is currently carrying out research in the field of foam physics. He has co-authored The Physics of Foams , Oxford University Press (2000) with Stefan Hutzler , and The Pursuit of Perfect Packing cylinder sphere packings .[4] [5] [6] [7]
In 2005, he was awarded the premier award of the Royal Irish Academy , the Cunningham Medal. Previous winners include William Rowan Hamilton .[citation needed
In 2008, he won the Fernand Holweck Medal and Prize .
Weaire has a strong interest in the history of science and is a board member of the History of Physics group of the European Physical Society .[8] Edward Hutchinson Synge with Petros Florides and John F. Donegan.[9]
Relationship to Ira Einhorn [ edit ]
During the convicted murderer Ira Einhorn 's time in Ireland, Weaire was his landlord.[10] FBI and evicted him.[10] Interpol Investigates Fatal Compulsion ). The part of 'Professor Dennis Weaire' was played by actor Robert Randolph Caton . He was previously depicted in the made-for-TV film The Hunt for the Unicorn Killer Naomi Watts as Holly Maddux, Kevin Anderson as Einhorn, and Ian D. Clark as Weaire.
