John Mark Lupton is a British physicist based at the University of Regensburg, where he is Professor of Experimental Physics and Dean of the Department of Physics.[1]
Career
Lupton completed his PhD under Ifor Samuel at Durham University in 2000. After a brief spell as a research fellow at the University of St Andrews, he was subsequently a project group leader at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz (2001) and an assistant within the Photonics and Optoelectronics Group at the University of Munich (2002–2006).[1]
In 2006, while still based in Munich, Lupton received the Max Auwärter Prize of the Austrian Physical Society.[2] He joined the University of Utah in 2006 as an associate professor, moving to the University of Regensburg in 2010.[1]
Research
At Regensburg, Lupton heads the Organic Semiconductors and Optical Nanostructures Group (or 'Lupton Group').[3]
He was part of a team of researchers in 2013 that developed new 'wagon-wheel' molecules with the potential to create more effective OLEDs.[4] These molecules, because of their unusual shape, were able to generate light that was not polarized.[4] In 2021, Lupton was co-lead of an international research collaboration that was able to measure the effect of electrons with negative mass in novel semiconductor nanostructures.[5]
