New Employees
Carla Stauber joined our Utica, N.Y., office as a civil/water resources engineer in September. Carla holds a B.S. in civil and environmental engineering and an M.S. in environmental engineering with a focus in fish passage engineering from University of Massachusetts Amherst. In the spring before graduating, Carla, along with three classmates, participated in research regarding fish passage structures, and presented their findings at the 2012 National Conference on Engineering and Ecohydrology for Fish Passage.
Matt Burak joined our Henniker, N.H., office in September as an Environmental Scientist. He holds a B.S. in environmental science from SUNY Albany and an M.S. in wildlife and fisheries conservation from University of Massachusetts Amherst. While working on his masters, Matt worked with the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries and various town environmental agencies to implement a monitoring program to study spawning migrations and population characteristics of anadromous herring throughout coastal Massachusetts. Following graduate school, Matt held a research fellowship at University of Massachusetts Amherst where he studied the effects road-stream crossings have on stream morphology and fish communities.
Ian Kiraly joined our Henniker, N.H., office in October as an Environmental Scientist. Ian holds a B.S. in natural resources with a concentration in applied ecology from Cornell University, and an M.S. in wildlife ecology from the University of Maine. Between his undergraduate and graduate careers, he conducted a variety of fisheries surveys in lakes and streams for Cornell University, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, and the U.S. Geological Survey. While obtaining his master's degree, Ian characterized fish assemblages in the Penobscot River relative to the location of dams.
