Senior🎓
Top SchoolWill Prokopik is an environmental data scientist and HARP intern at Virginia Tech, pursuing a BA in Economics with minors in Data & Decisions, GIS, and Blue Planet, graduating in 2026. He applies programming, R, and ArcGIS Pro to hydrologic and environmental modeling, currently quantifying multi-year drought and baseflow performance for the North Fork Shenandoah River. Previous research roles include statewide evapotranspiration mapping and algal bloom data analysis, contributing processed datasets used in academic publications. With nine years of varied experience, he blends fieldwork humility (seasonal golf operations) with reproducible, cluster-based data workflows. Will’s interdisciplinary training positions him to translate economic and spatial data into practical water-resource decision support. An often-overlooked strength is his hands-on experience scaling raster and time-series workflows for large-state datasets, giving him an edge in applied environmental modeling.
