About
Andy joined the University of Minnesota in 2016 as a Research Scientist with the Minnesota Aquatic Invasive Species Center (MAISRC), where he studied deterrent methods to stop the upstream migration of invasive carp in the Mississippi River. In 2020, he joined SAFL’s Applied Research and Engineering team as a Research Scientist. Andy specializes in designing and conducting field studies on lakes and rivers, with technical expertise in the deployment of data acquisition systems. His research interests include lake and river water quality, boat-generated waves and propeller wash impacts, tracking fish and aquatic mammals, and aquatic invasive species prevention/management.
Andy lives in the twin cities with his wife, two boys, and yellow lab. He loves anything outdoors, especially fishing, pheasant hunting, and working on projects at his family cabin.
