Department of Chemistry

Samuel I. Stupp (PhD, Northwestern), Board of Trustees Professor of Materials Science, Chemistry and Medicine. His current research focuses on materials chemistry, a rapidly developing interdisciplinary field that aims to achieve the molecular design of materials with specific properties and complex functions. Topics studied recently in his laboratory include molecular self assembly, supramolecular materials, biomaterials for the repair of human tissues, nonlinear optical properties of organic solids, and templated syntheses of nanostructured semiconductors. His associations and awards include: Materials Research Society Medal Award (2000), Member of Advisory Board of Nano Letters, American Chemical Society, Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Joliot Curie Professor at Ecole Superieure de Physique et de Chimie, Paris, Humboldt Award for Senior U.S. Scientists, Fellow, American Physical Society, Department of Energy Prize for Outstanding Scientific Accomplishment in Materials Chemistry, Xerox Faculty Award for Excellence in Engineering Research, NIH Special Dental Research Award. Stupp served on the NRC Steering Group for a Workshop on Bionics for Space Exploration.
