Jean-François Gaillard
Department of Civil Engineering

Jean-François Gaillard (D.Sc., University Denis Diderot-Paris VII, Sciences Physiques-Géochimie), Associate Professor of Civil Engineering. His current research focuses on the study of the chemical forms (speciation) and the biogeochemical cycles of elements in aquatic systems. The primary objective of his research group is to determine the analytical speciation of metals to better understand their fate in the environment and define appropriate remediation actions. To that end, he and his group are using a multi-method approach combining electrochemical, microscopic, and molecular tools. In the ten years prior to his coming to the US, Gaillard was involved in various collaborative research projects in France, as part of Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (France-JGOFS). Between 1991 and 1993 he was the Chief Scientist for ANTARES-I funded by the CNRS and the Institut français dela rechercher et technologie polaire (IFRTP) and is the editor of a volume related to this project (Deep Sea Research II: ANTARES 1: France JGOFS in the Indian Sector of the Southern Ocean: Benthic and Water Column Processes, 1997). Gaillard is Associate Editor of the Journal of Hydrology.
