Daniel L. Weidman is a retired asphalt optimization manager at BP p.l.c. who earned his doctorate in chemical engineering from the University of Wisconsin—Madison. Weidman earned his undergraduate degree at the University of Illinois and his doctorate in chemical engineering at the University of Wisconsin—Madison, where his dissertation developed computational models of catalyst particles in fixed-bed reactors — tools for predicting how heat and mass transfer affect chemical conversion in packed industrial reactors. He subsequently joined BP, where he worked as an asphalt optimization manager before retiring.
