Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLeland Scantlebury is a hydrogeologist and staff scientist with nine years of experience applying computational and field methods to groundwater and surface-water problems. Currently a PhD candidate in Hydrologic Sciences at UC Davis and staff scientist at S.S. Papadopulos & Associates, he builds and calibrates groundwater and contaminant transport models and develops modeling tools in Fortran, Python, C++, R and JavaScript. His background spans coupling MODFLOW to hydrologic frameworks, custom model packages, data visualization, GIS and SQL, blending research-grade coding with practical remediation and sampling work. Comfortable moving between field sampling and low-level numerical implementation, he brings both hands-on environmental engineering experience and advanced modeling expertise. Outside of work he bikes to the office and prefers rainy days and tall trees—small signals of a practitioner who values robustness and real-world context.
