John McCray is a Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Colorado School of Mines. His research focuses on chemical transport in hydrologic systems, with projects addressing watershed sustainability in Peru, stormwater treatment in urban areas, PFAS remediation, and groundwater contamination. He holds affiliations with the U.S. EPA Science Advisory Board (2015–2018), NSF Engineering Research Center ReNUWIt, and the Payne Institute for Earth & Environmental Policy.
Education includes a PhD in Hydrology and Water Resources from the University of Arizona (1998), MS in Environmental Systems Engineering from Clemson University (1994), and BS in Electrical Engineering from West Virginia University (1986).
Research interests emphasize urban water quality, PFAS fate and transport, and green infrastructure. His work bridges field studies, laboratory experiments, and modeling to address real-world challenges. Recent projects include modeling PFAS in groundwater, assessing stormwater quality in Denver, and evaluating climate impacts on water resources in Chile and Peru.
Publications highlight advancements in PFAS transport modeling, urban stormwater management, and subsurface remediation. Key awards include the Rudolph Hering Medal (2013) and Fulbright Scholar recognition (Chile, 2013). He has advised numerous graduate students and postdocs, contributing to over 60 peer-reviewed articles.
Labs and collaborations involve Payne Institute and ReNUWIt, focusing on policy-relevant solutions for water sustainability. Current efforts include developing tools for urban water management and assessing climate change impacts on arid regions.
