   personal_statement: "Michal Niemoczynski is a hydrologist with the New Jersey\
     \ Water Science Center. Michal graduated Summa Cum Laude from East Stroudsburg\
     \ University in 2008 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Environmental Science\
     \ with Geography Minor. He began his career in 2009 in New Jersey as a hydrologic\
     \ technician within the NJWSC\u2019s Hydrologic Data Assessment Program, operating\
     \ surface-water field trips in the northeastern and southern areas of the state,\
     \ as well as operating NJWSC\u2019s bridge scour network in coordination with\
     \ the New Jersey Department of Transportation. From 2011-2014 he helped build,\
     \ maintain, and analyze tidal estuary gages that utilized hydroacoustic technology\
     \ to compute streamflow that was subsequently, used in the construction of a\
     \ hydrodynamic flow model of the Barnegat Bay within Ocean County, NJ. He has\
     \ assisted with coastal and inland storm-response efforts in multiple states\
     \ and serves as the NJWSC\u2019s storm tide monitoring program coordinator.\
     \ He maintains a thorough knowledge of surface-water indirect measurement techniques\
     \ and hydraulic modeling using HEC-RAS 1D and 2D. He employed RAS creating several\
     \ libraries of flood-inundation maps for the flood-prone northeastern areas\
     \ of New Jersey from 2012-2015. More recently, he has been working with projects\
     \ publishing coastal flood inundation map libraries for NJWSC\u2019s network\
     \ of 25 tide telemetry gages based on ADCIRC modeled coastal storm data and\
     \ simultaneously wrapping up a cooperative project with New York Department\
     \ of Environmental Conservation developing a comprehensive water quality model\
     \ for the Mohawk River basin based on a 129-mile-long HEC-RAS unsteady hydraulic\
     \ model. Currently, he is working on a project evaluating streambed roughness\
     \ characteristics and coefficients in New Jersey streams and developing HEC-HMS\
     \ models that will be used to inform a rural road-closure network in Hunterdon\
     \ County, New Jersey. Michal is also a certified MOCC/MOICC instructor with\
     \ the USGS watercraft safety program and holds his United States Coast Guard\
     \ Master\u2019s License."
   professional_experience:
   - "Lead for New Jersey\u2019s Surge, Wave, and Tide Hydrodynamics (SWaTH) network."
   - He is involved with a coastal flood inundation mapping initiative for the New
     Jersey Tide Telemetry Network that will develop a series of flood inundation
     maps based on ADCIRC modeled coastal storm data correlated to USGS tide gages.
   - He is part of a team working on a cooperative project with New York Department
     of Environmental Conservation (NYDEC) developing a comprehensive water quality
     model for the Mohawk River basin based on a complex unsteady hydraulic model.
   - He has worked extensively on the construction and operation of ADVM flow monitoring
     gages on the Barnegat Bay estuary in New Jersey.
