EMPLOYMENT HISTORY
BJAAM Environmental, Inc. (www.bjaam.com) Canal
Fulton, OH (September 2001 – April 2002)
As a Computer Modeler, I provided analytical and
numerical modeling of groundwater flow and contaminant
transport. I was responsible for development
/application of quantitative analysis
techniques and software tools to solve environmental
problems.
The responsibilities included compilation and
interpretation of chemical and hydro geologic field
data, development, calibration, sensitivity analyses
and use of groundwater flow and contaminant transport
models, preparation of technical memos and reports for
Phase II and III Environmental Site Assessments.
The numerical modeling included development of
three-dimensional model (MODFLOW/MT3D/RT3D ) of
groundwater flow and transport of dissolved petroleum
hydrocarbons, which utilized solution of system of
differential equations with partial derivatives. The
transport model was associated with multi-components
chemical reactions between hydrocarbons and dissolved
electron acceptors, advection, sorption, and
dispersion processes. I provided calibration,
sensitivity analysis, and application of the model to
actual condition at the sites. The analysis and the
application were based on statistical evaluation of
results of the calculations and measured geochemical
data.
Paul C Rizzo Associates, Inc. (www.rizzoassoc.com)
Monroeville, PA (October 1999 – September 2001)
As an Engineer, I assisted in the design and
implementation of remediation systems for remediation
of dams in a variety of industrial and commercial
settings. I performed numerical modeling of
groundwater flow for designed dams, existing dams, and
dewatering systems of excavation.
The numerical modeling was based on steady and
transient simulation of the flow in three-dimensional
domain. The numerical models utilized
finite-difference (MODFLOW)and finite-element (SEEP2D)
analysis of the system of differential equations.
I was also responsible for numerical evaluation of the
results of aquifer testing, analysis of mechanical
stability of slopes of excavation zones and dams, and
the stability of designed retaining walls.
Brest State University, (www.brsu.brest.by) Brest,
Belarus (May 1993 – September 1999)
As an Associate Professor, I provided following
courses in Department of Physics: Calculus, Advanced
Calculus, Theory of Differential Equations, Numerical
Methods, General Mechanics, Analytical Mechanics,
Fluid Dynamics, and Thermodynamics.
I also conducted a research in area of computational
analysis of fluid flow in porous media. I wrote
computer codes for solution of system of partial
differential equations based on finite difference
methods. The numerical models were associated with
Navier-Stokes equations for transient flow of
compressible non-viscous fluid with shock waves. The
results were presented on international conferences,
and in scientific publications.
Institute of Mechanics of Moscow State University
(www.msu.ru), Moscow, Russia (November 1988 – April
1993)
I was a Research Assistant in Laboratory of Shock
Waves and Blasts (Head of laboratory: Professor
Vladimir Levin). I investigated propagation of waves
in porous media and conducted experimental
measurements of velocity, pressure, and laser beam
attenuation in high velocity multiphase flow. I also
conducted visualization of the flw and statistical
analysis of experimental data.
