• Aquatics and marine water scientist that consistently managed multiple concurring environmental projects with strict deadlines and competing priorities. Worked on several large Canadian EIAs during the past decade.
• Responsible for dozens of effluent discharge modelling studies using optimized diffuser design for regulatory approval, in freshwater and marine settings.
• Conducted oil spill modelling scenarios into aquatic environments using Lagrangian models of advection/diffusion coupled to fluid dynamics.
• Developed 3D hydrodynamic models of several coastal locations and freshwater lakes, which included using predicted or measured groundwater flow configurations, in situ physical forcings (riverine inputs, winds.
• Completed extensive oceanographic and limnologic characterization studies for several projects, which included analysing months of water column data profiles and several moored instruments.
• Performed complex aquatic multi-instrument analysis (CTD, ADCP, etc.) and used rigorous statistical methods and numerical modelling techniques to quantify error bounds to generate metocean data reports.

• Key Projects:Environment Canada – Port Hardy, Port Hardy Airport and Alert Bay, BC Marine Water Quality Assessment.
• Completed an oceanographic characterization study for all three outfall locations in the Queen Charlotte Strait. Implemented the use of a 3D hydrodynamic numerical model to estimate the currents and stratification at.
• Developed a 3D hydrodynamic model of the reservoir flow structure which included a bottom water diffusion mechanic to calculate the oxygen distribution through time.
