Emily A. Carter (born November 28, 1960 in Los Gatos, California) is the Dean of the Princeton University School of Engineering and Applied Science and the Gerhard R. Andlinger Professor in Energy and the Environment, as well as a Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and the Program in Applied and Computational Mathematics at Princeton University. She is an associated faculty member in the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment, the Department of Chemistry, the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, the Princeton Institute for Computational Science and Engineering (PICSciE), the Princeton Environmental Institute (PEI), and the Princeton Institute for the Science and Technology of Materials (PRISM). She was the Founding Director of the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment from 2010-2016. Carter is a theorist and computational scientist whose work combines quantum mechanics, solid-state physics, and applied mathematics.
Carter received a Bachelor of Science in chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley in 1982. She was awarded her Ph.D. in physical chemistry in 1987 from the California Institute of Technology, where she worked with William Andrew Goddard III, studying homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis.
Carter held a postdoctoral position at the University of Colorado, Boulder during the 1987-1988 academic year. There she worked with James T. Hynes to produce seminal work on the dynamics of (photo-induced) electron transfer in solution and also with Hynes, Giovanni Ciccotti, and Ray Kapral to develop the widely used Blue Moon ensemble, a rare event sampling method for condensed matter simulations.
