Jordan Peccia

Jordan Peccia is an American engineer and Professor of Environmental Engineering at Yale University. Peccia was born in Cut Bank, MT and earned his B.S. and M.S. degrees in engineering from Montana State University. He completed his Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder. Since 2005, Peccia has been a member of the Chemical and Environmental Engineering faculty at Yale University, where he holds the Thomas E. Golden endowed professorship[1], and serves as the department Chair[2]. He is an elected member of the Connecticut Academy of Science and Engineering[3]. In 2023, Peccia was named Head of Yale’s Benjamin Franklin College[4].

Academic Career

Peccia’s academic work integrates the problem-solving aspects of environmental engineering with microbial genetics and public health. Contributions include estimating the infectious risks to humans during the land applied sewage sludge[5], advancing the exposure science on the beneficial health impacts of the indoor microbiome on children[6][7], and inventing DNA-based tools for classifying the mold status in buildings[8][9]. Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, Peccia’s lab at Yale was the first to demonstrate how SARS-CoV-2 RNA concentrations in domestic wastewater could be a leading indicator (over clinical case monitoring) of COVID-19 outbreaks [10][11][12][13][14]. Peccia is a member of a group of international scientists that advocated for recognizing the airborne route of transmission during the COVID-19 pandemic[15][16][17].  He is the founding chair of the Gordon Research Conference of the Microbiology of the Built Environment[18].

Family

Brother to James D. Peccia III, Major General (Ret.) in the United States Air Force.
