He has\ \ also developed and applied two-dimensional hydrodynamic flow models and temperature\ \ models to better understand what drives where freshwater mussels thrive.\u200B\ \u200B\u200B" professional_experience: - Pennsylvania Water Science Center Williamsport office since 2020 - Leetown Science Center Wellsboro, Pennsylvania Fish Lab, 2008-2019 title: Team Lead Groundwater/Ecology Field Innovation
