Lead Consultant, Environmental Scientist - Air Quality
WSP Environment & Infrastructure USA, NC
Michelle Snyder, PhD., PMP, is a lead consultant and air quality scientist at WSP USA. Dr. Snyder received her doctoral degree in Physics from North Carolina State University, where her research focused on boundary layer aerosol optical scattering measurements during fog formation. She began her professional career as a postdoctoral scientist in EPA’s Office of Research and Development, where she was the lead contributor to the R-LINE Gaussian dispersion model for mobile sources. After her postdoctoral appointment she was the lead dispersion modeler at the University of North Carolina’s Institute for the Environment, before starting in her current position in 2017 at WSP (and its predecessors: Amec Foster Wheeler and Wood Environment & Infrastructure Solutions). Throughout her career she has published over 25 scientific journal articles on air quality and dispersion related topics. Currently, she is the technical lead and project manager on the EPA’s AERMOD Maintenance and Enhancement contract, which supports the regulatory office in AERMOD-related research, enhancements, and model applications and serves as WSP AERMOD model expert reviewing industrial applications.
