Weibel studied physics and mathematics at the University of Michigan, earning bachelor"s degrees in both subjects in 1972.
From 1970 to 1976 he was an "Operations Research Analyst" at Standard Oil in Indiana, and spent 1977-1978 at the Institute for Advanced Study. In 1978 he became an assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania and in 1980 an assistant professor at Rutgers University, where he was promoted to professor in 1989. He joined Vladimir Voevodsky and Markus Rost in proving the (motivic) Bloch–Kato conjecture (2009).
lieutenant is a generalization of the Milnor conjecture of algebraic K-theory, which was proved by Voevodsky in the 1990s.
He was a visiting professor in 1992 in Paris and 1993 in Strasbourg. Since 1983 he has been an editor of the Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra.
In 2014, he became a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society.
