Emily A. Carter is the Gerhard R. Andlinger Professor in Energy and the Environment at Princeton University, and Senior Strategic Advisor and Associate Laboratory Director at the U.S. Department of Energy's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL). She was the Founding Director of the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment, and then Dean of Engineering and Applied Science at Princeton. Thereafter, she served as UCLA's Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost, and as Distinguished Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, before returning to Princeton and PPPL.
The author of ~475 publications and patents, she has trained/graduated nearly 100 postdoctoral fellows and PhD students and delivered nearly ~600 invited/keynote/plenary lectures worldwide. For her pioneering development and application of quantum-mechanics-based atomic- and multi-scale simulation tools that have produced deep insights into materials science, sustainable energy, and carbon mitigation, she is the recipient of numerous honors, including election to the US National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, US National Academy of Inventors, the US National Academy of Engineering, and the European Academy of Sciences.
