About
Born 21 October 1944, Jean-Pierre Sauvage graduated from the National School of Chemistry of Strasbourg in 1967 and stayed in the city, building his career at Strasbourg University. He made his name in supramolecular chemistry, the art of coaxing molecules into complex architectures that behave like tiny mechanisms. That specialty brought him to Stockholm: in 2016 he shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry with J. Fraser Stoddart and Bernard L. Feringa for work on molecular machines. He remains at Strasbourg, where the strange geometries he pioneered continue to unfold.
