Luis M. Campos is a professor in the Department of Chemistry at Columbia University. Campos leads a research team focused on nanostructured materials, macromolecular systems, and single-molecule electronics.[1]
Early life and career
Campos attended California State University, Dominguez Hills, graduating with a B.Sc. in chemistry in 2001. After completing his undergraduate degree, Campos conducted research at King’s College London on theoretical organic photochemistry[2]
Campos attended the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) as a graduate student, where he worked under Prof. Miguel García-Garibay and Prof. Kendall Houk’s supervision.[3][4] During his doctoral studies, Campos also performed research at the University of Minnesota with Prof. Donald G. Truhlar during the summer of 2003,[2] and at the Johannes Kepler University Linz in Austria with Prof. Niyazi Serdar Sarıçiftçi in 2004 and 2005.[5][6] Campos was awarded an NSF Predoctoral Fellowship, a Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship,[7] and the Saul & Silvia Winstein Award during his graduate studies. He received a Ph.D. from the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry in 2006.[8]
Campos then conducted postdoctoral research from 2006 to 2010 at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he worked with polymer chemist Prof. Craig Hawker on functionalization and cross-linking of polymers using the thiol-ene reaction.[9][10][11]
Campos has started his independent academic career in 2011 as an assistant professor in the Columbia University Department of Chemistry.[12] In 2016, he was promoted to associate professor. In 2023, he was promoted to professor.
He has served as an associate editor of the journal Chemical Science since 2018.[13]
Research
Nanostructured materials
Nanostructured materials deal with block copolymers and assembles themselves. Campos and colleagues developed copolymers that can self-assemble into different nanoparticles[14][15]
Molecular and macromolecular systems

Campos and colleagues also work on the development of chemistry for the next generation solar cell technologies.[17]
Single-molecule electronics
Studies involving single-molecule transport demonstrate how particular designs lead the synthesis of macromolecular materials. This also allows for chemists to adjust the functionality of a chemical. This research allows for exceptional transport technology.[18]
Awards and honors
Campos has received the 2016 ACS Arthur C. Cope Scholar Award, 2016 C&E News Talented 12.[19]
