Summary
Eric Stephan is a Senior Data Engineer with 12 years of focused experience and a long history at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Battelle advancing scientific databases, geospatial systems, metadata, and provenance for experimental and computational research. He leverages a unique blend of ontologies and model-driven architecture to deliver high-integrity, open-source data solutions across domains from environmental science to the power grid. Eric has led mission-critical engineering efforts—ranging from Hanford Site emergency response systems integrating geospatial analysis and dispersion models to radioactive waste processing tools—demonstrating both technical depth and operational impact. Based in the Greater Kennewick area, he moves easily between research and applied engineering, helping teams adopt auditable, reproducible data practices. Notably, his background in mathematics and computer science underpins a methodical approach to data modeling that reduces ambiguity and accelerates domain onboarding.
