Mr. Hurley is an environmental data scientist with experience modeling environmental pollutants and developing data processing tools and workflows. His expertise is in aqueous geochemistry, environmental pollutant fate and transport, surface water sampling and analysis, and water quality modeling software development.

Mr. Hurley has experience in working with large water quality datasets to create predictive surrogate models, conduct robust trend analyses, as well as to perform analyses of water quality metrics such as corrosivity and chronic/acute criterion. He has also worked with large spatial datasets to create machine learning classification models. Mr. Hurley has a strong R programming background, which has allowed him to develop water quality modeling software and data analysis tools.
