Professor Carreira obtained his Ph.D. degree in 1990 from Harvard University and became Assistant Professor at the same faculty in 1992. After becoming full professor in 1997 he moved to ETH ZA1/4rich in 1998. He is recipient of many awards among them the Nobel Laureate Signature Award and the ACS Award in Pure Chemistry. His research focuses on asymmetric synthesis of natural products. Dr. Lisbet Kvaerno received her PhD in 2004 and worked as a Postdoc at the ETH Zuerich, Switzerland in the group of Erick M. Carreira. After a second postdoctoral stay at Harvard in he group of David A. Evans she moved to Germany where she is currently an Independent Junior Group Leader at the Max Planck Institute of Coal Research. Research in her group is focused on organic synthesis and the discovery of new reaction methodology, in particular stereoselective and catalytic asymmetric reactions. See less
