Presidential Faculty Fellows Program/Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers (PFF/PECASE)

通过这个总统科学家和工程师早期职业奖（PECASE）奖，合成有机项目支持加州理工学院化学系的Erick M. Carreira博士的研究和教育工作。卡雷拉博士是获得第一届年度PECASE奖的60名年轻独立研究人员之一。今年基金会有20位PECASE获奖者。这个极具声望的奖项旨在表彰在科学和工程研究方面的卓越表现和未来取得成功的希望，以及获奖者在各自领域最终成为领导人物的潜力。在他这一代中，carira教授是有机合成领域的领导者，因为他的全合成zaragozic酸和他的对映选择性醛醇缩合反应的新催化剂的开发已经证明。他的两个教学奖和他积极的外展努力表明了他在教育活动中的卓越表现

With this Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) award, the Synthetic Organic Program is supporting the research and educational efforts of Dr. Erick M. Carreira of the Department of Chemistry at the California Institute of Technology. Dr. Carreira is one of sixty young, independent researchers to receive the first annual PECASE award. There are twenty PECASE awardees from the Foundation this year. This highly prestigious award is being given in recognition of excellence and promise for future success in scientific and engineering research, and the potential for eventual leadership of the awardees in their respective fields. In his generation, Professor Carreira is a leader in the area of organic synthesis as his total synthesis of zaragozic acid and his development of new catalysts for enantioselective aldol condensation reactions have shown. His two teaching awards and his active outreach efforts point to excellence in his educational activities
