# Work experience  

*2026*   
**Principal and Senior Carbon Removal Scientist**  
CarbonRun

  * Delivered the world's first third-party verified carbon removal credits generated by river alkalinity enhancement on the [Isometric registry](https://registry.isometric.com/project/prj_1K39D0N8S1S0TMKX)

*2024--2025*   
**Head of Data Analysis and Geochemical Modelling**  
CarbonRun 

  * Built a quantification pipeline to deliver the world’s first carbon removal credits generated by river alkalinity enhancement
  * Created THERMO-CO2, CarbonRun’s proprietary model for forecasting CO~2~ removal due to river alkalinity enhancement
  * Worked closely with Isometric, a leading carbon removal registry, to create the world’s first [river alkalinity enhancement protocol](https://registry.isometric.com/protocol/river-alkalinity-enhancement/1.0)

*2024*  
**Senior Research Scientist**  
Centre for Water Resources Studies, Dalhousie University  

  * Developed a bespoke workflow for marker gene and metagenomic sequencing and subsequent data analysis  
  
  * Managed a Research Nova Scotia grant valued at more than $1M, focused on water surveillance using environmental DNA  
  
  * Mentored PhD, MASc, and co-op students in research, writing, data analysis, and programming

*2017--Present*  
**Independent Consultant**  

  * Contributed physical and statistical modelling expertise to clients' projects involving water contamination and treatment
  
  * Provided data analysis and modeling expertise for a major US court case involving lead contamination of drinking water

*2018--2024*  
**Postdoctoral Employee**  
Centre for Water Resources Studies, Dalhousie University  

  * Created open-source software packages for modeling (1) environmental time series and (2) the fate of inorganic contaminants in water 
  
  * Contributed research insights to Halifax Water's corrosion control program, resulting in lower levels of toxic lead in drinking water and prolonged infrastructure life 
  
  * Detected a lead polyphosphate complex in drinking water using a purpose-built method; the USEPA and others had warned about these complexes for years, but this was among the first detections in real drinking water 
  * Showed that sodium silicate was not a viable corrosion control treatment for lead, despite its mention in many corrosion control manuals for that purpose---a finding which will avoid wasted resources, and, potentially, elevated lead in drinking water
 
*2021--2023*  
**Postdoctoral employee (Mitacs Accelerate Grant holder)**  
Halifax Water/Dalhousie University  

  * Developed and published a novel monitoring strategy for the corrosiveness of drinking water that has been cited in Health Canada's new draft guidance document on controlling lead corrosion
