Samuel I. Stupp
Board of Trustees
Professor of Materials Science, Chemistry and Medicine,
Northwestern University


Professor Stupp received his B.S. in chemistry from the University of California at Los Angeles and his Ph.D. in materials science and engineering from Northwestern University in 1977. He joined the faculty at Northwestern in 1977 as professor of Biological Materials, and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1980 where he was professor of Materials Science and Engineering, Chemistry and Bioengineering until January 1999. At the University of Illinois in 1996 he was named Swanlund Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, Chemistry, and Bioengineering. While at the University of Illinois he served as chairman of the Polymer Division, and was a member of the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology. In January 1999, he joined Northwestern University as Board of Trustees professor of Materials Science, Chemistry, and Medicine where he was recently appointed Director of a new Institute of Bioengineering and Nanoscience in Advanced Medicine.

Professor Stupp received the 2000 Materials Research Society Medal for his work on self assembly of nanostructured materials. He has also been the recipient of a Department of Energy Prize for Outstanding Achievement in Materials Chemistry, and a Humboldt Senior Award sponsored by the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Science in Mainz, Germany. In 1997 Professor Stupp was Joliot Curie Professor at the Ecole Superieure de Physique et Chimie in Paris, and CNRS visiting professor at the Institute Charles Sadron for Research on Macromolecules in Strasbourg.

Professor Stupp is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and of the American Physical Society. Professor Stupp chaired recently the National Science Foundation study on Interdisciplinary Macromolecular Science and Engineering recommending to NSF future directions in the field. He has served or is currently serving as a member of the editorial boards for Advances in Polymer Science, Chemistry of Materials, Acta Polymerica, Journal of Polymer Chemistry, Polymer Chemistry Edition, Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics, and Nano Letters. His research areas include self-assembly of nanomaterials, supramolecular chemistry, synthesis of templated nanocomposites, and biomaterials for human tissue repair.
