Krzysztof "Kris" Matyjaszewski (born April 8, 1950 in Konstantynów Łódzki , Poland ) is a Polish-American polymer chemist .

CV and career

In 1972 Matyjaszewski graduated from Moscow University of Technology with a degree in chemistry. At the Polish Academy of Sciences he received his doctorate in 1976 under Stanisław Penczek .

From 1977 to 1978 Matyjaszewski was a post-doctoral student at the University of Florida . Then he went back to Poland and became a research assistant at the Polish Academy of Sciences. From 1984 to 1985 he worked as a research assistant at the CNRS in France and then as a visiting professor at the Sorbonne in Paris . Matyjaszewski received his habilitation in 1985 at the Technical University of Łódź . Then Matyjaszewski went to the United States and was at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, first junior professor ( assistant professor ) and then associate professor ( associate professor ). Since 1998 he has also been director of the Center for Macromolecular Engineering and holder of the JC Warner Professorship for Natural Sciences . Since 2001 he has also been Associate Professor at the Polish Academy of Sciences in Łódź and the University of Pittsburgh .

Matyjaszewski has both Polish and US citizenship. It is married and has two children.

Work area

Matyjaszewski is mainly active in the field of polymer chemistry. In 1995 he and Mitsuo Sawamoto discovered Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP) - almost simultaneously but independently of one another .

Publications

Matyjaszewski is the author / co-author of over 500 peer-reviewed publications, 10 books and 79 international patents. In 2007, Matyjaszewski was in fourth place in the ranking of the most cited chemists.
