Kelvin B. Gregory, Ph. D.

Assistant Professor

Environmental Engineering, Science and Management

Kelvin is an assistant professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. His research interests are broadly defined as engineering applications of environmental microbiology. More specifically his research is directed towards understanding how microbial interactions with surfaces may be applied for remote and/or decentralized energy generation, environmental sensing and restoration. Current research topics include: electrode-based in situ bioremediation; biological fuel cells; anaerobic respiration and biofilms.
