About the lecturer

Professor Sir Fraser Stoddart is an internationally renowned supramolecular chemist and a pioneer in the field of supramolecular chemical and mechanical interlocking research. He pioneered the synthesis of bistable mechanical interlocking molecules (such as rotaxane and hydrocarbons) in the process of molecular recognition and assembly, and used molecular switches and molecular motor molecular machines for nanoelectronic devices and nanoelectromechanical systems , nano pharmacy and metal organic skeleton structure and other fields. He has published more than 1,000 academic papers in journals such as Nature, Science, Nature Nanotechnology, and Nature Chemistry. He was elected a member of the Royal Academy of Sciences in 1994 and was elected to the German Academy of Natural Sciences in 1999. He was elected as a foreign academician of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2006. In the same year, he was awarded the title of Lord Lord Elizabeth II by the British royal family. In 2007, he won the Einstein Science Prize for his outstanding and pioneering work in the field of molecular machines. In 2012, he was elected as an academician of the American Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Sciences. In 2014, he was elected as an academician of the American Academy of Sciences. In 2016, he won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. He was selected as one of the top ten figures of "Foreign Education in China". In 2017, he was elected as a foreign academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and won the friendship of the Chinese government in 2017. And he was awarded the International Science and Technology Cooperation Award of the People's Republic of China in 2018. During his more than 40 years of scientific research, he has published more than 1,000 academic invitation reports, and successfully trained nearly 400 doctors and postdocs, more than 80 of whom are working at internationally renowned universities.
