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.
