He was an undergraduate at Harvard College and went to the California Institute of Technology, where he received his PhD in Chemistry under Linus Pauling in 1953. 

The research of Professor Martin Karplus and his group is directed toward understanding the electronic structure, geometry, and dynamics of molecules of chemical and biological interest.

He was awarded the Nobel Prize of Chemistry in 2013 for "the development of multiscale models for complex chemical systems".
