소개

허버트 애런 하우프트먼(영어: Herbert Aaron Hauptman, 1917년 2월 14일 ~ 2011년 10월 23일)은 미국의 수학자이다. 1985년 분자의 결정구조를 직접 알아내는 방법을 개발한 공로로 제롬 칼 박사와 함께 노벨 화학상을 수상했다.

Herbert Aaron Hauptman was an American mathematician and Nobel laureate. He pioneered and developed a mathematical method that has changed the whole field of chemistry and opened a new era in research in determination of molecular structures of crystallized materials. Today, Hauptman's direct methods, which he continued to improve and refine, are routinely used to solve complicated structures. It was the application of this mathematical method to a wide variety of chemical structures that led the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences to name Hauptman and Jerome Karle recipients of the 1985 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
