Amy Pickering is an Associate Professor and the Blum Center Distinguished Chair in Global Poverty and Practice, jointly appointed in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and the Blum Center for Developing Economies at the University of California, Berkeley. Pickering’s research focuses on using tools from multiple disciplines (engineering, economics, microbiology, epidemiology) to identify low-cost and scalable interventions to interrupt disease transmission in low-income countries. Her lab also designs and evaluates novel water and sanitation technologies and interventions to reduce infectious disease, with a focus on scalable products that can raise the quality of service in underserved communities. Her lab's work developing and evaluating in-line drinking water chlorination technologies has informed the scale-up of chlorination in Africa and the incorporation of in-line chlorination into guidance issued by India’s national Jal Jeevan Mission to connect all rural households to piped water infrastructure.
