Project Description
Dr. Jeseth Delgado Vela is an assistant professor in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at Howard University. Her research and teaching focuses on developing an equitable, environmentally sustainable, and cost-efficient urban water cycle. The goal of her research is to understand the microbial ecology within the urban water cycle and consequently inform water treatment approaches and technology development. She is particularly interested in unraveling microbial cross-feeding within water and resource recovery facilities, understanding nitrogen metabolisms in engineered processes, and developing process models for engineered systems that harness 'omic data. She received her Ph.D. and master’s degree from the University of Michigan. She received her bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin. She was a recipient of the Ford Foundation Dissertation Award.
