Instructor
Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering
Dr. Jason R. White is an Associate Professor of Teaching in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of California, Davis. He has been a faculty member at UC Davis since 2015 after earning his Ph.D. from the University of Connecticut. Dr. White specializes in teaching courses related to chemical process design, process safety, and bioseparations, and he has received multiple accolades, including being voted "Professor of the Year" by his students on three occasions. His innovative teaching methods were recognized with a "Best Poster Award" at the 2019 American Society for Engineering Education conference for his work on enhancing student engagement through active learning strategies.A strong advocate for process safety education, Dr. White has significantly improved the curriculum at UC Davis by incorporating insights gained from participating in a process safety bootcamp hosted by the Center for Chemical Process Safety. He also played a key role in establishing the CHEM E CAD and Industrial Automation club, focusing on project-based learning experiences that prepare students for real-world challenges in chemical engineering. Outside of academia, Dr. White enjoys spending time with his wife and their six children, as well as engaging in sustainable agricultural practices on their homestead in Auburn, CA.
