David Weininger (1952–2016) was an American cheminformaticist.[1] He was most notable for inventing the chemical line notations for structures (SMILES),[2][3][4] substructures (SMARTS) and reactions (SMIRKS).[1] He received his PhD degree in 1978 on a study of Polychlorinated biphenyls in Lake Michigan at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.[5] He also founded Daylight Chemical Information Systems, Inc.[6]
The Info Mesa: Science, Business, and New Age Alchemy on the Santa Fe Plateau[7] by Ed Regis (author) was published in 2003, featuring Weininger and other leaders of informatics in the Santa Fe area.
