Macromolecular Engineering

Krzysztof Matyjaszewski is currently J.C. Warner University Professor of Natural Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, USA. He is also Director of Center for Macromolecular Engineering at CMU and adjunct professor at University of Pittsburgh and at Polish Academy of Sciences. He has published over 20 books, 92 book chapters and 968 peer-review papers.Yves Gnanou is Professor in the Physical Science and Engineering Division of the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). His research interests focus on the study of the mechanism of chain polymerizations and the design of miscellaneous polymeric architectures by novel synthetic methods.Nikolas Hadjichristidis is Professor at the Polymer Synthesis Laboratory of the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). He focuses on the synthesis of well-defined polymeric materials with complex macromolecular architecture (star, comb, cyclic, dendritic) by using anionic polymerization (AP) high vacuum techniques, as well as combinations of different polymerization methodologies (AP, ATRP, TEMPO, catalytic).Murugappan Muthukumar is Wilmer D. Barrett Professor of Polymer Science and Engineering at the University of Massachusetts. His research group is engaged in understanding how macromolecules, both biological and synthetic, assume their sizes and shapes, organize into assemblies, and move around in crowded environments.
