Jordan Peccia

Jordan Peccia is the Thomas E. Golden, Jr. Professor of Chemical & Environmental Engineering at Yale University, Department of Chemical & Environmental Engineering. His research focuses on the application of molecular biology to environmental engineering, including the microbiome of the built environment and human health effects, biological aerosol detection and source tracking, production of sustainable biofuels, and human exposure to land applied biosolids. Peccia's work includes studies on indoor microbial communities, viral pathogen diversity in sewage sludge, and the impact of indoor emissions on airborne allergenic fungal particles. His research has been published in journals such as Environmental Science and Technology and the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.

Jordan Peccia is the Thomas E. Golden Jr. Professor of Environmental Engineering at Yale University, focusing on environmental engineering with an emphasis on bioaerosols, indoor air quality, and environmental biotechnology. His research explores the transmission of airborne pathogens, including SARS-CoV-2, and the role of indoor environments in respiratory infections. He investigates the measurement and mitigation of airborne bacteria, fungi, and viruses, as well as the use of wastewater-based epidemiology for public health monitoring. His work also addresses antibiotic resistance in air and the potential of microalgae for biofuel production. Peccia's research integrates environmental engineering with microbiology and public health to improve indoor air quality and combat infectious diseases.
