Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTom Barchyn is a Research Project Manager and Professional Geoscientist in Canada with 13 years of experience applying emergent technologies to methane emissions modeling and large-scale monitoring. He invented an industrially successful methane monitoring system that couples novel plume models with human/hardware/software interfaces and a deep, practical understanding of wind dynamics. His background spans fundamental geomorphology—from sand dunes on Earth and Mars to subglacial bedforms—informing robust field and modeling approaches. A keen robotic sailor and builder, he has developed autonomous sailing systems with battle-tested control loops and statistical navigation, including an 8 km fully autonomous sail. Tom bridges academic rigor and product-focused engineering, publishing academic work and translating research into operational environmental technology.
