Microbial Ecology, Cell-Cell Signaling, and Implications for Biofilm Treatment

Dr. Jeseth Delgado Vela is interested in integrating molecular tools and modeling to understand how microbial community interactions and dynamics affect engineered water treatment systems. Dr. Delgado Vela’s research is focused on studying how microbes interact in wastewater treatment systems and harness beneficial interactions. She is also interested in combating harmful microbes in both natural aquatic systems and in the built environment.
