This year, the Academy of Science, Engineering and Medicine of Florida has inducted four FIU professors, recognizing them as leading national scholars whose research has benefited society. The inductees are Adam W. Carrico, Dr. Juan C. Cendan, Todd A. Crowl and Jeremy Pettit. This cohort reflects the width and breath of FIU’s research in areas of the environment, health and tech and innovation.

“This recognition by the Academy of Science, Engineering and Medicine of Florida not only capstones the rigorous, dedicated and productive careers of these scholars, but also highlights the community of academic excellence that FIU continues to cultivate,” said Elizabeth M. Béjar, provost, executive vice president and chief operating officer of FIU.

Adam W. Carrico is a professor at the Robert Stempel College of Public Health & Social Work. He was admitted to the academy for “being a dynamic psychologist leading the integration of biomedical and behavioral approaches targeting the intersection of methamphetamine use and HIV.”
