Professor Christopher Bielawski earns Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry is pleased to announce that Professor Chris Bielawski is a recipient of a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers, the highest honor bestowed by the United States government on outstanding scientists and engineers beginning their independent careers.

The Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers, or PECASE Program, was commissioned by President Clinton in 1996 to create an award program that would honor and support the extraordinary achievements of young professionals at the outset of their independent research careers in the fields of science and technology. The Presidential Award embodies the high priority placed by the government on maintaining the leadership position of the United States in science by producing outstanding scientists and engineers who will broadly advance science and the missions important to the participating agencies.

This award is a great honor and is highly illustrative of Professor Bielawski's impact on the scientific community.
