STEPHEN G. ZEMBA, Ph.D., P.E.

 

EDUCATION:

 

1989.  Ph.D.  Mechanical Engineering.  Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts.  Conducted original research on the modeling of time-averaged ozone concentrations in eastern North America, including the effects of transport, deposition and atmospheric chemistry that relate ozone production to concentrations of nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbon precursors.

 

1985.  M.S.  Mechanical Engineering.  Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts.  Conducted original research on the modeling of the steady flow of dense (heavier than air) gases released in a turbulent boundary layer.

 

1983.  B.S. with University Honors.  Mechanical Engineering.  Carnegie-Mellon University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.   Research projects included a review of the feasibility of nuclear waste disposal and the development of computer graphics simulations of potential fluid flow.

2000–Present. Lecturer, Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

 

1995–Present. Adjunct Professor, Tufts University.

 

1992–2001.     Adjunct Professor, University of Massachusetts–Lowell.

 

1989.               Visiting Investigator, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, Woods Hole, MA

 

1983–1989.     Research Assistant, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA

 

Summer 1988. Guest Student, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, Woods Hole, MA

 

Summers.        Engineering Internships, Elliott Company (steam turbine manufacturing) and

1982–1983      Westinghouse Electric Corporation (breeder reactor design).

 

 

SELECTED EXPERIENCE:

 

●          Conducted several risk assessments of hazardous waste disposal sites in accordance with the Massachusetts Contingency Plan.  The contamination at one site — a former jewelry manufacturing facility — included many heavy metals and several volatile organic compounds associated with solvent use.  The assessment of a petroleum tank farm required consideration of the ecological consequences of potential discharges to an adjacent river.  Another large site required a detailed exposure assessment involving eight age groups (infants through senior citizens) and seven hypothetical receptors (residents, workers, and visitors/trespassers).

 

●          Coordinated and designed multi-pathway risk assessments of stack emissions from 1,500 ton per day waste-to-energy plants proposed for East Bridgewater, Massachusetts, and Green Island, New York.  Provided technical support for the Town of North Kingstown in evaluating the proposed waste-to-energy facility at Quonset Point, Rhode Island.

 

●          Performed fate-and-transport modeling to predict evaporation rates of volatile chemicals from spills and impoundments, with subsequent modeling to predict potential exposure point concentrations in ambient air, indoor air, and confined spaces.

 

●          Designed the scope of the risk assessment of the City of Manchester Municipal Landfill, and performed fate and transport modeling of the volatilization of organic chemicals from surface waters, along with subsequent atmospheric dispersion.

 

●          Evaluated the remedial investigations and feasibility studies of the Sullivan's Ledge site and the Middle Marsh operable unit and proposed alternative interpretation of the data collected during the field studies.

 

●          Provided pro-bono consulting to the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection to develop a short-form risk assessment to facilitate hazardous waste site cleanup.

 

●          Teach courses in Air Pollution taught at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Tufts University.  Developed and taught a graduate-level course in Air Quality Modeling at the University of Massachusetts–Lowell.

 

●          Conducted atmospheric dispersion analyses of toxic chemicals and dense gases in order to evaluate potential exposure to humans in support of toxic tort litigation.

 

●          Evaluated the physical and environmental consequences of deep ocean disposal of carbon dioxide.

 

●          Developed estimates of atmospheric deposition of nitrogen-containing compounds, mercury, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons to the Massachusetts Bays.
