Kerry Kinney is the L.P. Gilvin Centennial Professor in Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin's Cockrell School of Engineering, Department of Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering. Her research focuses on microbial exposures, indoor air quality, and drinking water systems. She holds a Ph.D. (1996), M.S. (1993), and B.S. (1988) in Civil & Environmental Engineering and Chemical Engineering from the University of California at Davis.
- Ph.D., UC Davis, 1996
- M.S., UC Davis, 1993
- B.S., UC Davis, 1988
Her technical interests span microbial bioaerosols, wastewater treatment design, and premise plumbing contamination. Recent work includes studies on indoor environmental health impacts, community-based cohort research (e.g., Whole Communities-Whole Health Project), and innovative sampling technologies like the BEVO Beacon sensor platform. She investigates hurricane-driven indoor fungal proliferation, microplastic removal via microalgae, and VOC emission fingerprinting in urban areas.
Her 150+ articles explore interdisciplinary topics such as air quality-occupant health linkages, biofilm dynamics, and pandemic-related infrastructure impacts. Notable projects include SARS-CoV-2 environmental surveillance and post-Hurricane Harvey water quality analysis. Her work integrates engineering, biology, and public health to address built environment challenges.
