In 1985, Stucky joined the faculty of theUniversity of California, Santa Barbara. He is the E. Khashoggi Industries, LLC Professor in Letters and Science, Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry (College of Letters and Science), Professor in the Materials Department (College of Engineering), and a member of the Interdepartmental Program in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.[12]
Stucky has been ranked in the top five most-cited materials scientists in the world, according toThomson Scientific's in-cites publication (more than 80 publications with over 60 citations).[13] According to another publication by Thomson in late 2006, his work involvingSBA was the most-cited paper in theJournal of the American Chemical Society.[14] In 2007 hisHirsch index rating ranked in the top 40 among living chemists,[15] and he was ranked in the top 30 most-cited scientists in chemistry by in-cites in late 2007.[16] In June 2008,Sciencewatch.com featured "Mesoporous Materials" as a Special Topics analysis publication.[17] He contributed research in the development ofQuikClot, a lifesaving blood clotting drug with military and civilian applications.[18]
He is also the co-chair of the Scientific Advisory Board of the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (IBN),A*STAR, Singapore[19] which is headed byJackie Y. Ying (Executive Director of IBN[20] and adjunct professor of chemical engineering at MIT[21]).
Alumni of Stucky's research group includeAngela Belcher of MIT,Peidong Yang at UC Berkeley,Dongyuan Zhao at Fudan University, Yiying Wu at Ohio State, Kyong-Shin Choi at Wisconsin andShannon Boettcher at the University of Oregon among many other notable scientists.[22] In late 2006, former and current group members and colleagues gathered for a Symposium on Recent Advances in Nanoscale Materials Research at UCSB to celebrate Stucky's 70th birthday.[23] The event was hosted by CNSI (Elings Hall[24]) at UCSB.[25]
