Summary
Jeff Walker is an environmental data scientist and engineer with 13 years of experience building databases, models, and visualizations that make hydrologic and water-quality data accessible and actionable. He founded and leads Walker Environmental Research, applying academic rigor from postdoctoral work at UMass Amherst to deliver decision-support tools, web applications, and climate-stress testing systems for water resources. His technical focus spans end-to-end data workflows—collection, management, analysis, modeling, and visualization—bridging research-grade methods with practical tools used by practitioners. Trained at Tufts (PhD), MIT (M.Eng.), and Cornell (BS), he combines strong environmental engineering fundamentals with software development skills. Based in Brunswick, Maine, he specializes in translating complex hydro-ecological science into intuitive interfaces and reproducible analyses. Beyond consulting, he has a track record of integrating research projects into operational systems that inform water-resource decision making.
