Joseph Thomas Hupp (born on March 23,1957) is an American chemist. He is the Morrison Professor of Chemistry in the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences at Northwestern University.
Hupp was born on March 23,1957,in Cuba,New York. [1] He attended Cuba Central School and played on their football team. As a senior,he placed 14th among 114 high school students who took the Nevins Mathematics Contest at Alfred University and was awarded automatic admission. [2] Despite this,he attended Houghton College for his Bachelor of Science degree and Michigan State University for his PhD. [1]
Following his PhD,Hupp became an associate research assistant at the University of North Carolina from 1984 to 1986. [1] In his final year,Hupp earned the 1986 Presidential Young Investigator Awards and joined the faculty of chemistry at Northwestern University (NU). [3] As a professor,Hupp collaborated with five NU researchers to attempt to create artificial enzymes to act as catalysts in chemical reactions. [4] Following this,he was elected a fellow of American Association for the Advancement of Science [5] and Materials Research Society for enabling discoveries in the synthesis of porous materials. [6] He also received the Royal Society of Chemistry's 2014 Stephanie L. Kwolek Award for "key enabling discoveries in the design and syntheses of functional materials relevant to energy science applications,including light-to-electric energy conversion and supramolecular framework-based sensing,sieving,gas storage and catalysis." [7]
In 2018,Hupp received the George S. Hammond Award from the Inter-American Photochemical Society for "his range of contributions from fundamental work on light-induced electron-transfer reactions to elucidation of mechanisms for molecule-powered solar cells to design and synthesis of new classes of light-harvesting and photocatalytic materials." [8] The following year,he was appointed Energy &Environmental Science ’s Editorial Board Chair [9] and was listed amongst the 2019 Highly Cited Researchers from Clarivate Analytics. [10] As the Morrison Professor of Chemistry,Hupp was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences [11]
Donald James Cram was an American chemist who shared the 1987 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Jean-Marie Lehn and Charles J. Pedersen "for their development and use of molecules with structure-specific interactions of high selectivity." They were the founders of the field of host–guest chemistry.
Paul Delos Boyer was an American biochemist,analytical chemist,and a professor of chemistry at University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). He shared the 1997 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for research on the "enzymatic mechanism underlying the biosynthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)" with John E. Walker,making Boyer the first Utah-born Nobel laureate;the remainder of the Prize in that year was awarded to Danish chemist Jens Christian Skou for his discovery of the Na+/K+-ATPase.

Sir James Fraser Stoddart is a British-American chemist who is Board of Trustees Professor of Chemistry and head of the Stoddart Mechanostereochemistry Group in the Department of Chemistry at Northwestern University in the United States. He works in the area of supramolecular chemistry and nanotechnology. Stoddart has developed highly efficient syntheses of mechanically-interlocked molecular architectures such as molecular Borromean rings,catenanes and rotaxanes utilising molecular recognition and molecular self-assembly processes. He has demonstrated that these topologies can be employed as molecular switches. His group has even applied these structures in the fabrication of nanoelectronic devices and nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS). His efforts have been recognized by numerous awards including the 2007 King Faisal International Prize in Science. He shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry together with Ben Feringa and Jean-Pierre Sauvage in 2016 for the design and synthesis of molecular machines.
