Jennifer Guelfo, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor and an Edward and Linda Faculty Fellow in Civil, Environmental, and Construction Engineering at Texas Tech University. She joined Texas Tech University in 2018 following a postdoctoral appointment in the Brown University School of Engineering. Dr. Guelfo has a BA in Geology from the College of Charleston, a MS in Environmental Science & Engineering from the Colorado School of Mines (CSM), and a PhD in Hydrologic Science and Engineering, also at CSM. For the past 13 years, her research has focused primarily on occurrence, fate, transport, and remediation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
