Three Princeton Engineering faculty members are among the recipients of the National Science Foundation’s CAREER awards during the past year.

The Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) program offers the NSF’s most prestigious awards in support of early-career faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education and to lead advances in the mission of their department or organization. Each award provides a minimum of $400,000 over five years, enabling early-career academic scientists and engineers to build a firm foundation for a lifetime of leadership in integrating education and research.

New awardees from the School of Engineering and Applied Science are:

Maria Apostolaki, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering, for the project Contextual robustness for ML-powered network-based functions;

Jaime Fernández Fisac, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering, for the project Towards a game theory of safe human-centered robotics;

and Amit Levy, assistant professor of computer science, for the project Encapsulating unsafe code in low-level systems.
