Caulkins Selected for U.S. Frontiers of Engineering Symposium
The 2½-day event will bring together 82 of the nation's engineers ages 30 to 45 who are performing exceptional engineering research and technical work in a variety of disciplines. The participants -- from industry, academia, and government -- were nominated by fellow engineers or organizations and chosen from more than 230 applicants.
Caulkins’ primary research interest is modeling the effectiveness of interventions related to drugs, crime, violence, delinquency, and prevention. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation recently selected Caulkins for one of its prestigious National Health Investigator awards. Caulkins won the Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management’s David R. Kershaw Award for distinguished contributions to the field of public policy and management (1999). The National Science Foundation awarded him both a graduate fellowship and a national young investigator award. Past awards also include Pittsburgh’s Forty Under 40 award and the Heinz School’s Martcia Wade teaching award.
