Our principal, David E. Weinreich, Ph.D., has years of experience in government, advocacy, and academia. He was responsible for crafting policy and writing papers in both legislative and executive branch offices. A trained mathematician and educator, he has the analytical ability to get to the heart of your issue and the teacher’s ability to explain complex ideas simply and thoroughly.
Dr. Weinreich has worked in Congress and the Executive Branch on nearly every public policy issue, from agriculture to tax policy and from health care to foreign affairs. Beginning with his experience as the first Congressional Fellow for the American Mathematical Society (AMS) in 2005-2006, he has served as a staffer for three Members of Congress. He is a veteran of several political campaigns for current and former Members of Congress. He has also worked at the National Science Foundation as a Science and Technology Policy Fellow through the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). At NSF, he worked on broad policy issues in Environmental Research and Education as well as the Division of Mathematical Sciences. Outside of the government, he held faculty positions in mathematics at Gettysburg College and the University of Wisconsin – La Crosse, and also taught middle and high school at Queen Anne School in Upper Marlboro, Maryland.
Major accomplishments he has contributed to include passing the HIRE Act, which provided tax credits to businesses that hire new employees who were previously on unemployment; creating Qualified School Construction Bonds to help school districts build or renovate schools; doubling funding for nuclear nonproliferation efforts in 2006; and preventing cuts to fire grants and homeland security funding for areas in need. He helped write and edit Pathways to the Future, a policy document on future developments for NSF’s Division of Environmental Research and Education. As a research mathematician, he has several peer-reviewed publications in top journals and has presented his research around the world. He was a 2000 – 2001 Mathematical Association of America (MAA) Project NEXT Fellow, and has received grants and awards for both teaching and research.
He is a current member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and the American Mathematical Society (AMS). He is a former two-time AAAS Science and Technology Policy fellow and a current board member of the World Association of Young Scientists, a network devoted to advancing scientific research and publication. Dr. Weinreich received his Ph.D. in 2000 under Bela Bollobas at the University of Memphis, specializing in extremal graph theory and related fields.
