Kien Pham Email and Phone Number
With 12 years of experience as a researcher, a remediation engineer (PE licensed) and consultant, I apply my expertise in groundwater modeling and bioremediation to design and implement solutions for complex environmental challenges. I am currently working for a non-profit organization that brings together the best subject matter experts in private consulting to serve the public good on projects managed by government agencies. I have a Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering/Remediation from Clemson University, where I studied matrix diffusion and fracture networks and published peer-reviewed articles. I am proficient in various modeling software, such as REMChlor-MD, MODFLOW, PEST, and MT3DMS. I am also proficient in scientific programming using Python, which I utilize often to optimize analyses of large and repetitive datasets. In addition to modeling, I have fieldwork experience performing environmental sampling (in groundwater, soil, sediment, and surface water), pumping tests, in-situ biological and chemical augmentation, and construction oversight. My objective as a consultant is to do quality work, on time, and on budget so cost estimation and project management are also areas of interests to me.
