We’re committed to improving our ecosystems, quality of life, and communities for the better.
Our passion and commitment to the integration of innovative science and engineering drive us to exceed on behalf of every client.
Princeton Hydro is dedicated to protecting our natural resources and changing our ecosystems, quality of life and communities for the better. Our team members are passionate about continuing to learn new technologies, staying ahead of regulatory changes, and expanding their knowledge.
Today, we are proud to put the spotlight on four team members who recently celebrated professional achievements.
The PE license is the engineering profession’s highest standard of competence, a significant symbol of achievement and assurance of quality. To become licensed, engineers must complete a four-year college degree, work under a Professional Engineer for at least four years, pass two intensive competency exams, and earn a license from their state’s licensure board. Then, to retain their licenses, PEs must continually maintain and improve their skills throughout their careers.
Marissa, our Geotechnical Soils Testing Lab expert, is a graduate of Rowan University holding a B.S. in Civil Engineering with a Bantivoglio Honors Concentration. She worked in the Construction Materials Laboratory as part of the CREATE’s Fellowship program at Rowan University, and participated in clinic projects such as a green roof feasibility study, testing the effects of water quality on masonry mortar, and the sustainability of converting organic waste feedstock into liquid biocrude. Marissa is passionate about working towards creating a more sustainable environment.
Marissa was recently featured in our “A Day in the Life” blog series. Click here to learn more about her work in our geotechnical laboratory.
The Wildlife Society (TWS), a nonprofit professional society, is dedicated to excellence in wildlife stewardship through science and education and is committed to the premise that these objectives can be achieved best with the guidance of well-educated, experienced, and dedicated wildlife biologists. TWS promotes and strengthens professional standards in all activities devoted to wildlife resources. To this end, TWS provides a professional certification program designed to evaluate the education and professional experience of wildlife biologists.
To achieve the Associate Wildlife Biologist certification, Eric was required to meet demanding academic criteria assessed by the TWS Certification Review Board, affirming his full capability to uphold the standards of ethical professionalism in the field. The certification is granted for 10 years.
Eric holds an M.S. in Ecology and B.S. in Wildlife and Fisheries Science both from Penn State University. During his undergraduate and graduate years, he studied state endangered breeding bird species, forest and landscape ecology, and the terrestrial ecosystems of the Northeast. His research incorporated avian survey techniques, forestry measurements, and GIS technology to determine the primary factors driving nest survival and breeding productivity of forest songbirds.
On Thursday, October 26, Eric, along with Emily Bjorhus, is leading a free Live Facebook Q&A about Backyard Birding. Learn more and RSVP here.
A commercial drone pilot license, issued by the FAA, grants permission to conduct commercial drone operations in the United States. To become a licensed commercial drone operator, Michael was required to pass the Aeronautical Knowledge Test and apply for and obtain a Remote Pilot Certificate. To maintain his license, Michael must update his drone registration every 36 months as well as retake and pass the Aeronautical Knowledge Test every 24 months.
Drones are a helpful tool for environmental restoration initiatives because they can efficiently monitor project progress by collecting aerial data, including GIS information, that tracks information like vegetation growth, erosion rates, and site topography. Because drones can access remote and challenging terrain with minimal environmental impact they are a valuable tool for planning, managing, monitoring and assessing habitat restoration efforts.
Michael joined the Princeton Hydro team in April 2023 as a CAD Designer and Restoration Ecologist. He previously worked with a water resource consulting firm participating in nearly all phases of river, wetland, and coastal restoration projects. Prior to entering the restoration sphere, Michael was the owner/operator of a residential stormwater management company for 10 years. Michael received a B.S. in Marine & Coastal Science from Rutgers University.
Jackson, a recent graduate of Stockton University, began with Princeton Hydro in July 2023 as an intern. He holds a B.S. in Environmental Science with concentrations in Wildlife Management and Forestry. He studied water quality parameters as well as fisheries and forest management techniques in the unique ecosystems found in the New Jersey Pinelands. Before joining Princeton Hydro, he worked with a river restoration company that focused on dam removals, stream morphology, and in-stream habitat creation for native species.
During his internship, he supported the Aquatics Team in a variety of capacities. We are thrilled to welcome him as a full-time staff member and look forward to his successful and bright future with our firm helping to preserve ecosystems for future generations.
