Civil and Environmental Engineering at Northwestern University
Jean-Francois Gaillard is a Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering as well as Earth and Planetary Sciences at Northwestern University. The primary focus of his research group is to understand the biogeochemical processes that affect the fate of metals in aquatic systems. A special emphasis is to elucidate how the chemical speciation of metals controls their biouptake/bioavailability focusing on microbial species, since microorganisms constitute the foundation of any ecological system.
