Omar Yaghi, currently a professor of chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley, was awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work developing a new form of molecular architecture called metal-organic frameworks.
Yaghi was a faculty member of the U-M Department of Chemistry from 1999 to 2006, a period “where he initiated much of the groundbreaking work that led to his award of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry,” said Neil Marsh, professor of chemistry in LSA and professor of biological chemistry in the Medical School.
“The scientific breakthrough that Yaghi made while at Michigan highlights the excellence of the scientific research being done at the University of Michigan.”
