Andrew Babbin joined the faculty at the Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences (EAPS) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 2017. He obtained his bachelor’s degree in Earth environmental engineering with a minor in applied mathematics from Columbia University in 2008 and completed his doctoral studies in geoscience at Princeton University in 2014. Before joining the EAPS faculty, he was a National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at MIT from 2014 to 2016. In 2024, he was appointed as mission co-director for the MIT Climate Project, an institute-wide initiative focusing on climate-related challenges. His research interest lies in marine biogeochemistry, specifically the interactions between microbial communities and the chemical environment, which affect climate regulation through greenhouse gases. His work involves high-precision experiments and the use of numerical models to better understand these processes, with the ultimate goal of informing society on how to adapt and mitigate the impacts of climate change.
