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

通过总统科学家和工程师早期职业奖(PECASE)奖，合成有机计划正在支持加州理工学院化学系Erick M.Carreira博士的研究和教育努力。卡雷拉博士是首次获得PECASE年度奖项的60名年轻独立研究人员之一。今年有20名来自基金会的PECASE奖项获得者。这一享有盛誉的奖项是为了表彰获奖者在科学和工程研究方面的卓越表现和未来成功的前景，以及获奖者在各自领域最终取得领导地位的潜力。在他那一代人中，卡雷拉教授是有机合成领域的领先者，他对萨拉戈齐酸的全合成和他对映体选择性羟醛缩合反应新催化剂的开发表明了这一点。他的两个教学奖项和他积极的外展努力表明他在教育活动中表现出色。

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
