Profile Information
- What is the focus of your present work?
- Currently, my work is focused on engaging former weapons scientists of the Former Soviet Union to us their talents on peaceful research. My project profile is centered promoting and developing cutting edge environmental protection R &D. Along with this mission, I also connect Russian and other CIS scientists to the global community to increase dialogue. Finally I develop training programs that help the scientists to become the local experts for transitional economies.
- Can you briefly summarize your past achievements?
- My achievements are mainly in the area of ecological research and promoting sustainable development. Starting from an early age of 11, I start ecological research from Hawaii and continued through college. In college I received a graduate award to conduct an advance research on the Hudson River, which was published in the Tibor Fellows books. During my graduate experience, I consulted through a workshop for eight fortune 500 companies interested in learning more about Corporate Social Responsibility. I also consulted in the same format for the World Resources Institute on a research project on rural electrification in Latin America. Upon graduation I started consulting for Pfizer Corporate EHS department, where my biggest contribution was advising and creating knowledge on climate change, sustainable business practices, developing materials on international environmental polices, developing water use analysis and supporting new renewable energy use projects.
- Would you like to share any of your education with the other Fellows? If so, post it here.
- I recieved a B.S. in Biology and a minor in Environmental Studies from State University of New York at Stony Brook. Then attended Columbia University, School of International and Public Affairs where I graduated with an MIA, 2003. My concentrations were, Environmental Policy Studies (EPA) and International Energy Management Policy (IEMP). Currently in the proposal stage of my PHD with Erasmus University in Rotterdam in Sustainable development and Cleaner Production.

- As a Fellow, we know you have a commitment to making the world a better place. How would you describe your motivation and aspirations in this context?
- My support and openness to be a part of this community is motivated by my aspirations to help the world's society to accept change. Once change is accepted, we can change our environmental, societal and economic impacts. Today, the masses are not part of the worlds' daily suffering and thus are not empowered to affect and make change. I would like to help by creating awareness and helping the masses to be affected by their local and international communities. In the end, only when we understand our connections and relevance to each other can we really be change agents.

Climate Change and Global Local Know-How Technology Push
Dear All
I would humbly ask for input and perhaps discussion on the need to find, recognize and help grow local technology innovation and development especially in the Eastern European countries.

In the last 5 year of work I have traveled to most of the CIS states and can attest to the wealth of intelligence and insight of the local researchers on the technolo… Continue
