Biography
Jasquelin Pe帽a is an associate professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Davis. She is also a Faculty Scientist in the Energy Geosciences Division at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
Her research is in the area of molecular and environmental biogeochemistry. She aims to advance mechanistic knowledge of contaminant, carbon and nutrient transformations in natural and engineered systems in order to address critical environmental problems related to water security and environmental quality in the face of climate change. Her research brings together perspectives from soil chemistry, environmental mineralogy, microbiology and water quality engineering.
Prior to joining UC Davis, Jasquelin was a faculty member at the Institute of Earth Surface Dynamics at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland (2011-2020). She received her B.S. in chemical engineering from Yale University in 2001, and her M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in environmental engineering from UC Berkeley in 2004 and 2009. From 2001 to 2003, she worked as a research associate at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
