Research Scientist
Manages and assists with research in the Langston University Aquaculture facitity consisting of 46 culture ponds, a hatchery, analytical laboratory, and three water storage/reclamation units. Develops and implements research and extension program tailored to the unique needs of Oklahoma and the surrounding region. Generally focused on aspects of water quality and effects on aquatic life of activities of the oil and gas industry.(e.g. water removal from rivers, streams, lakes, and ponds for hydraulic fracturing, and uses for recycled hydraulic fracturing wastewater, including potential in agricultural uses). Supervises and manages multiple researchers and technicians on research in food production agriculture, environmental health/issues, food sciences, conservation, and ecology.
