Daniel Vallero

Adjunct Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering

Dr. Vallero conducts research focused on transport and transformation of organic compounds in environmental media, especially soil and the troposphere. He also leads the Pratt School's "Ethics across the Curriculum," which addresses ethics from introduction of academic integrity to first-year undergraduate students and throughout the students' academic and research experiences at Duke. He co-facilitates the Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) training for all Duke Ph.D. students actually or potentially engaged in research, and conducts research and develops teaching approaches related to macroethics of emerging technologies.
