Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrea Rocha, PhD is an environmental scientist with over a decade of experience translating microbial ecology and geochemical data into actionable insights for groundwater and subsurface investigations. She leads multidisciplinary field and lab programs at Geosyntec Consultants, drawing on a strong research background at Oak Ridge National Laboratory where she optimized molecular protocols, managed metagenomic datasets, and secured equipment funding. Her work spans experimental microbiology, systems biology modeling, and environmental monitoring, with a track record of mentoring junior scientists and authoring technical reports for DOE and other agencies. Based in Knoxville, Tennessee, she combines rigorous academic training (PhD in Engineering Science) with practical remediation and sampling expertise, and is skilled at designing SOPs and safety protocols that scale from small studies to large sampling campaigns. An understated strength is her ability to bridge computational analyses and hands-on fieldwork, turning complex sequence and geochemical data into clear guidance for engineering decisions.
