Jeffrey Nason is a tenured Professor and current Head of the School of Chemical, Biological, and Environmental Engineering at Oregon State University's College of Engineering. With degrees in civil, environmental, and chemical engineering from Cornell University and the University of Texas, he has been a faculty member since 2007 and was promoted to full professor in 2021. His leadership extends beyond research to graduate program administration, where he served eight years as Associate Head for Graduate Programs.
- Ph.D. Civil Engineering - University of Texas, 2006
- M.S. Environmental Engineering - Cornell University, 2002
- B.S. Chemical Engineering - Cornell University, 1997
Research spans two primary domains: water quality engineering examining copper removal from stormwater using Apatite II™ and compost, and nanomaterial environmental fate investigating heteroaggregation dynamics of engineered nanoparticles with natural colloids. Key projects include NSF-funded studies on traceable nanoparticles and virtual laboratory effectiveness in engineering education. Recent publications focus on epistemic practice development in digital learning environments and metal speciation analysis in complex matrices.
- NSF CAREER Award (2013)
- NSF Grant #13 (for traceable nanomaterials research)
Advising over 18 graduate and undergraduate students, his lab has produced significant work on nano-particle interactions, stormwater treatment technologies, and educational methodology. Collaborative efforts with Oregon Department of Transportation and National Science Foundation demonstrate institutional impact. Safety protocols emphasize strict adherence to OSU's Chemical Hygiene Plan with specialized SOPs for nanomaterial handling and metal analysis.
