Jordan L. Peccia is an American engineer and Professor of Environmental Engineering at Yale University. He was born in Cut Bank, MT. 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's 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 determining the infectious risks associated with the land application of sewage sludge,[5] advancing exposure science on the beneficial health impacts of the indoor microbiome,[6] [7] and inventing DNA sequence-based tools for classifying the mold status of a building.[8] [9] Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, Peccia’s lab at Yale demonstrated 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]  He is the founding chair of the Gordon Research Conference of the Microbiology of the Built Environment[17]

Family

His brother is James D. Peccia III, Major General (retired), United States Air Force.
