Krzysztof Matyjaszewski

J.C. Warner Professor of the Natural Sciences

Director, Center for Macromolecular Engineering

When to call: Matyjaszewski's research is in macromolecular chemistry, which generates advances in everyday products and materials such as building materials, furniture, paints and plastics. He is often cited for his discovery of atom radical transfer polymerization (ATRP), a novel method of polymer synthesis that has revolutionized the way macromolecules are made.
