John S. Waugh (born 1929) is an American chemist and Institute Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is the author of ANTIOPE, a freeware general purpose Windows-based simulator of the spectra and dynamics of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). He has also used systems of a few coupled spins to illustrate the general requirements for equilibrium and ergodicity in isolated systems.
In 1974 Waugh was elected as a member of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), in the Chemistry section.[1]
Waugh was awarded the Wolf Prize in Chemistry for 1983/84 with Herbert S. Gutowsky and Harden M. McConnell for their independent work on NMR spectroscopy.[2] Waugh was cited for his "fundamental theoretical and experimental contributions to high resolution nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy in solids."[2]
