Wrighton</a> and <a href="/people/285/000139865/">Robert H. Grubbs</a>, and developed amplified chemical sensors that detect vapors of common bomb-making materials. Devices based on this technology now help US troops detect explosive devices in Iraq. His has also studied electronic polymers, imaging agents for detecting Alzheimer's, lasers as explosives detectors, liquid crystals, molecular electronics, molecular recognition, photonics, polymer science, supramolecular science, and synthetic conductors.<p><b>Wife:</b> (m.)<br><p> University: <a href="/edu/269/000120906/">BS Chemistry, Montana State University (1983)</a><br> University: <a href="/edu/584/000082338/">PhD Chemistry, California Institute of Technology (1988)</a><br> Scholar: <a href="/edu/487/000068283/">Chemistry, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1988-90)</a><br> Teacher: <a href="/edu/517/000068313/">Chemistry, University of Pennsylvania (1990-96)</a><br> Professor: <a href="/edu/517/000068313/">Chemistry, University of Pennsylvania (1996)</a><br> Professor: <a href="/edu/487/000068283/">Chemistry, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1996-)</a><br><p> <a href="/honors/432/000128048/">Lemelson-MIT Prize</a> 2007<br> <a href="/org/692/000054530/">National Academy of Sciences</a> <br> <a href="/org/811/000055646/">American Academy of Arts and Sciences</a> <br> <a href="/org/630/000117279/">Alfred P.
