About
Dr. JoAnn S. Lighty started at Boise State University in 2017 and is currently the Dean of the College of Engineering. She earned her Ph.D. and her B.S. in chemical engineering both from the University of Utah. Previously a professor with the University of Utah, Dr. Lighty’s current research has two main areas of interest, the first being the formation of fine particulate matter (PM) from combustion and gasification systems. The second being carbon capture via chemical looping combustion, specifically chemical looping with oxygen uncoupling. She is also a member of various societies including, the Combustion Institute, Society of Women Engineers, the American Society for Engineering Education, and the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE). She is a fellow of AIChE.
