I am available for all manner of climate and process innovation projects in research and development. For process engineering, I use a Lean Six Sigma-influenced process of Define Measure Analyze Improve Control, with a heavy emphasis on stakeholder empathy and visionary ideation.
I completed a Master’s Thesis in pollution and adaptation in the modern policy context at Western Colorado University in 2023, and can conduct research that is based in science.
My work in sustainability, circularity, and pollution/waste systems analysis, design, and engineering began in 2012, with a bachelor’s of science in mechanical engineering from the University of Maryland, College Park. At that time, the EPA Pollution Prevention program connected me with opportunities to help Maryland companies reduce their contributions to landfill through engineered sustainability systems (I worked on asphalt roof shingles).
Over the years that have elapsed, my work has spanned many products and systems, which are shared on this website.
I went back to graduate school in 2021 to study the dynamics of environmental policy, innovation, and systems in an academically and scientifically rigorous environment.
My thesis work on community adaptive systems in the face of exceeded planetary boundaries and polluted lands continues to be of interest to myself and to the world. This work is needed in all sectors, urgently.
Thanks,
Matthew
