4 Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Scientists Honored

LIVERMORE, CA — Four scientists from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have been selected to receive the prestigious Presidential Early Career Award for Science and Engineering, the lab announced Wednesday.

Félicie Albert, Daniel Casey, Richard Kraus and Arthur Pak are among 315 recipients nationwide who will be honored in a ceremony in Washington, D.C. later this year, according to the lab.

Established in 1996, the PECASE acknowledges the contributions scientists and engineers make to the advancement of their respective fields, according to the lab.

"I was born and raised in France, and I became an American citizen in 2018, so for me getting a U.S. Presidential award is kind of the American dream," recipient Félicie Albert said in a statement. "It is such an honor to receive this, even more so that I am sharing it with three colleagues from LLNL whom I know are exceptional scientists."
