*Short CV:* Dr. Krzysztof Matyjaszewski is the J.C. Warner Professor of 
Natural Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University and served as the head of 
the Chemistry Department. He has written 17 books, 83 book chapters, 
over 800 peer-reviewed articles cited more than 68,000 times (one of the 
three most frequently cited polymer chemists in the world) as well as 48 
US and 132 international patents. His research has impacted many, as 
over 100 postdoctoral fellows and 100 graduate students have been 
members of his research group. He is the editor of Progress in Polymer 
Science.

Dr. Matyjaszewski’s research interests include macromolecular 
engineering; synthesis of well-defined macromolecules via living and 
controlled polymerizations; homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis; and 
the preparation of well-defined polymers and hybrids for 
optoelectronics, ceramics, and biomedical applications. He discovered 
Cu-mediated Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization, commercialized in US, 
Europe, and Japan.

*Awards:* Dr. Matyjaszewski received the 2014 Japan National Institute 
of Materials Science Award, 2012 Maria Curie Medal, 2012 Prize of 
Société Chimique de France, 2011 Wolf Prize in Chemistry, 2009 
Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award, and from the American 
Chemical Society: 2013 North America Science Award, 2011 Hermann Mark 
Award, 2011 Award in Applied Polymer Science, 2002 Polymer Chemistry 
Award, and 1995 Creative Polymer Chemistry Award. He was awarded with 
seven honorary degrees (Ghent, Lodz, Athens, Moscow, Toulouse, Pusan, 
Paris) and is a member of National Academy of Engineering, Polish 
Academy of Sciences, and Russian Academy of Sciences and a fellow of 
National Academy of Inventors.
