Martin Karplus (March 15, 1930 – December 28, 2024) was anAustrian -bornAmerican theoretical chemist . He was the Theodore William Richards Professor ofChemistry , emeritus atHarvard University . He was also Director of the Biophysical Chemistry Laboratory. He is ofJewish descent.
Karplus received the 2013Nobel Prize in Chemistry , together withMichael Levitt andArieh Warshel , for "the development of multiscale models for complex chemical systems".[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] [ 4] [ 5] [ 6]
Karplus died on December 28, 2024 inCambridge, Massachusetts from problems caused by a fall at the age of 94.[ 7] [ 8]
