Krzysztof "Kris" Matyjaszewski (Polish: [ˈkʂɨʂtɔf matɨjaˈʂɛfskʲi]; born April 8, 1950) is a Polish-American[1] chemist. He is the J.C. Warner Professor of the Natural Sciences at the Carnegie Mellon University[2] Matyjaszewski is best known for the discovery of atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), a novel method of polymer synthesis that has revolutionized the way macromolecules are made.[3]
Matyjaszewski was elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering in 2006 and the National Academy of Sciences in 2019[4] for expanding the capabilities of controlled/living polymerizations and developing ATRP, a robust catalytic process for the radical polymerization of monomers. He received the prestigious Wolf Prize in Chemistry[5] in 2011, the Dreyfus Prize in the Chemical Sciences[6] in 2015, and the Grand Prix de la Fondation de la Maison de la Chimie, France in 2020,[7] and the National Academy of Sciences Award in Chemical Sciences in 2023.
