Biography
Gabriel Filippelli joined the O'Neill School as an affiliate faculty member in 2024. He is a Chancellor’s Professor of Earth Sciences and serves as the executive director of the Indiana University Environmental Resilience Institute. Filippelli is a biogeochemist with broad training in climate change, exposure science, and environmental health. His research focuses on biogeochemical cycling in the environment and the connections between geochemistry and the geologic record of climate change.
Filippelli has directed more than $9 million of research funding throughout his career. He is the editor-in-chief for the journal GeoHealth and is a Fellow of the International Association of Geochemistry, a 2022 Fulbright Distinguished Chair, and former National Academy of Sciences Jefferson Science Fellow, where he served as a Senior Science Advisor for the U.S. Department of State.
