   personal_statement: "Scott Hamshaw received his Ph.D. in Civil & Environmental\
     \ Engineering from the University of Vermont where he undertook mapping of watershed\
     \ erosion and data-driven modeling of sediment transport in the Lake Champlain\
     \ Basin. After completing his Ph.D., he was a postdoctoral associate and research\
     \ assistant professor at the University of Vermont applying machine learning\
     \ to water resource problems as well as teaching land surveying and mapping.\
     \ Prior to his Ph.D., Scott worked as a consulting engineer in Burlington, VT\
     \ practicing stormwater management, water system design, and site engineering.\
     \ Scott joined the Analysis & Prediction Branch of the Water Resources Mission\
     \ Area in 2021 and is based in Bristol, VT.Scott\u2019s interests are in the\
     \ broad area of applied machine learning and water resource engineering with\
     \ emphasis on using data-driven approaches to understand dynamics in streamflow\
     \ and river water quality. Scott is active in national-scale research on applying\
     \ deep learning methods to the prediction of water quantity and quality in rivers\
     \ across the U.S."
