معرفی
Samuel Stupp is the Board of Trustees Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, Chemistry, Medicine, and Biomedical Engineering at Northwestern University. He directs the Center for Regenerative Nanomedicine and the Center for Bio-Inspired Energy Science. His research integrates chemistry, materials science, biology, and medicine to develop self-assembling organic materials for energy and medical applications.
Education:
- Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering, Northwestern University (Evanston, IL)
- B.S. in Chemistry, University of California at Los Angeles (Los Angeles, CA)
Research Focus: Stupp’s work spans energy materials (e.g., solar photovoltaics, catalytic materials for solar fuels) and biomaterials (e.g., regenerative medicine for spinal cord, bone, and cartilage repair). His group also explores targeted drug delivery using nanostructures for cancer and cardiovascular therapies. Three core subgroups focus on Energy Materials, Biomaterials, and Supramolecular Self-Assembly.
Awards & Recognition:
- Member, National Academy of Sciences (2020)
- Nanoscience Prize (2020)
- 2022 Von Hippel Award from the Materials Research Society
- Honorary doctorates from institutions in Sweden, Costa Rica, and the Netherlands
Labs & Teams: The Stupp Laboratory leads interdisciplinary projects at the intersection of supramolecular chemistry and biomedical engineering. Collaborations include international institutions like the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia and the University of Hong Kong.
