Ph.D. Andrew D Jones

Dr. Andrew D Jones is an Assistant Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Duke University. His research focuses on transport at biological interfaces, including the development of tools to treat biofilms associated with vascular graft infections, skin infections, waterborne diseases, and mold in flood-damaged buildings. Dr. Jones' work integrates engineering and policy analysis to address global challenges related to water and health. He has received several awards, including the NIH R35 Maximizing Investigator’s Research Award and the Sloan SEED fund award. His research has been presented at over 60 conferences, and he has supervised numerous students across various academic levels.

Akhenaton-Andrew D. Jones, III is an Assistant Professor at Duke University, specializing in water and biofilms. His research explores the interactions between microbial communities and their environments, focusing on biofilm dynamics, electrochemical activity, and the impact of physical forces such as shear stress. He investigates how factors like surface properties, electrolyte composition, and nanomaterials influence biofilm behavior, with applications in biomedical and environmental contexts. His work also addresses the intersection of climate justice and health equity, particularly in relation to HIV. Jones's research integrates experimental and computational approaches to advance understanding of biofilm formation and function.
