Dr. Anthony Walters is an experienced Operations Research analyst with training and experience in simulation, mathematical modeling, statistical analysis, and risk assessment. His education includes a bachelor’s degree in mathematics, a master’s in engineering sciences, and an interdisciplinary Ph.D. in computer science, mathematics, and quantitative methods of business. Early on, his experience in simulation and mathematical modeling provided an entry into the underdeveloped field of air quality modeling in the late 1960s and early 1970s. This experience with air quality and environmental oversight led to the assessment and management of environmental liability and risk in all media (air, soil, groundwater, and surface water runoff), the design of compliance strategies for health and environmental regulations, and hazardous waste resolution and defense strategies for the private sector. In addition, his work experience has included teaching and management consulting in systems analysis/operations research, computer systems, policy development, benchmarking, and applications of systems analysis to management considerations. Dr. Walters has assisted clients with due diligence requirements, review of proposed work involving environmental aspects, oversight of ongoing work, and project management. He has assisted several property owners (working with their legal counsel) and banks when it became necessary for them to prepare response and defense strategies because they were named as potentially responsible parties (PRPs) in Superfund actions. Dr. Walters has also performed an oversight function for several private companies that were in the process of individual or joint remedial actions. By taking on the oversight role, he was able to operate as an employee of the company, reporting to the responsible officer within the company regarding progress on a regular basis and supplying the company with the requisite expertise at the scene of the remediation. Dr. Walters has worked successfully with the Environmental Protection Agency, trade associations, and resource information and data sources in Washington, D.C. as well as with state projects and sites in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Illinois, California, New Mexico, Texas, Kentucky, and Louisiana. Most of his 30 years of experience has been with the private sector, but he has worked in government consulting as well (about five years total), and he has satisfied customers within IRS, FDA, Navy, DOD, DOE, and the Interior Department (Endangered Species). Dr. Walters has experience in university teaching at the graduate level for over 9 years, worked with a large trade association for 6 years, operated his own company for 10 years, and worked with other small and large consulting firms for about 7 years. He successfully dealt with issues ranging from regulatory compliance to development of automated models to process redesign for increased cost-effectiveness to policy development and regulatory response. Dr. Walters received his Ph.D. in Computer Science, Mathematics, and Quantitative Methods of Business from the University of Texas and his M.S. in Engineering Sciences and B.A. in Mathematics from Northwestern University.
