John Mark Lupton

John Mark Lupton is a British physicist based at the University of Regensburg, where he is Professor of Experimental Physics. He was Dean of the Department of Physics from 2015 to 2017 and from 2023 to 2025.

In 2006, while still based in Munich, Lupton received the Max Auwärter Prize of the Austrian Physical Society. He joined the University of Utah in 2006 as an associate professor, moving to the University of Regensburg in 2010.

He was part of a team of researchers in 2013 that developed new 'wagon-wheel' molecules with the potential to create more effective OLEDs. In 2021, Lupton was co-lead of an international research collaboration that was able to measure the effect of electrons with negative mass in novel semiconductor nanostructures.
