Hauptman and Jerome Karle "for their outstanding achievements in the development of direct methods for the determination of crystal structures." biography: Biography laureate facts: Facts laureate lecture: Lecture given name: Herbert family name: Hauptman occupation: scientist occupation: mathematician occupation: chemist occupation: university teacher field of work: mathematics work location: University at Buffalo, 12 Capen Hall, Buffalo, NY, 14260-1660, United States of America description: Herbert Hauptman was an American mathematician and Nobel laureate. He pioneered and developed a mathematical method that has changed the whole field of chemistry and opened a new era in research in determination of molecular structures of crystallized materials. Today, Hauptman's direct methods, which he continued to improve and refine, are routinely used to solve complicated structures. It was the application of this mathematical method to a wide variety of chemical structures that led the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences to name Hauptman and Jerome Karle recipients of the 1985 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. image copyright: Photo from the Nobel Foundation archive. image citation: The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1985.
