Don Wolf

Don Wolf started out as a Chemical Technician at the Eastman Kodak Company in 1983, working in a Quality Assurance laboratory testing manufactured products. From the QA lab Don moved on to work on process instrumentation at Kodak’s wastewater treatment plant in 1992.
At the water treatment plant Don was the plant technician performing maintenance and calibration of process monitoring equipment for both water analysis and continuous emission monitors for a hazardous waste incinerator.
Don was also involved in compliance performance testing (CPT) and reporting for the incinerator.
In addition to duties at the Water Treatment Plant, Don was involved in air and stack emission testing at Kodak. Another duty during this time was providing support for toxic gas monitoring systems (TGMS) in Kodak’s clean rooms
In 2005 Don joined CRA in the Environmental/ Consulting Field. He worked on many projects, including continued support at Kodak’s water treatment plant and other environmental services for Kodak. He continued to provide support for the TGMS while working as a consultant on site.
He earned a grade 3A wastewater license in 2015, and in 2016 left CRA (now GHD) to work for Monroe County (NY) as a Pump and Process Operator.
Don moved from Treatment Plant Operations to the Office of Industrial Waste in 2017 where he earned the title of Industrial Waste Engineer. As an Industrial Waste Engineer Don writes discharge permits, inspects industries, and provides general support for the operation of two Wastewater Resource Recovery Facilities.

Steven Nagel

Steven Nagel born in Canandaigua NY 1996 and graduated from Canandaigua Academy in 2014. Steven had a passion for science especially conservation, physics and enginneering. Wildlife biology and nanotechnology were among the topics of most interest. Steven attended Finger Lakes Community College (FLCC) receiving an A.S in environmental studies (2017). From 2016 through 2017 Steven worked as an Invasive species technician for the Finger Lakes Institute (FLI) out of Hobart and William Smith Colleges. Work as an invasive species technician consisted of survey work and physical removal of both aquatic and terrrestrial invasive species throughout the finger lakes region. some specific examples included survey and removal of water chestnut and survey/mapping of hemlock wooly adelgid. Education and outreach was another important aspect of working at FLI and Steven was sent to different events and functions to educate the public about invasive species. After graduating FLCC and working for FLI Steven transferred to the University of Montana in Missoula earning a B.S in wildlife biology (2022). Since returning to New York after graduating Steven has been working with the fishing guide outfit Canandaigua Fishing and testing toxic gas sensors at Cornell University and Akoustis for EERC.

Doug Stewart

I’ve been in the field of semiconductor manufacturing for over 40 years. I began my career right out of college after earning my associates in electronics. I started out as a line maintenance technician for National Semiconductor working on all types of semiconductor processing equipment before transitioning to equipment engineering. I got my first taste of working with some of the colorful chemicals, compounds and gases used in the processing of semiconductors while there, as well as the proper handling and safety involved in the use, storage and disposal of them during what was the burgeoning era of semiconductor manufacturing. I transitioned through compound semiconductors, MEMS and image sensors along my path between a number of employers before becoming planted in a small fab in Canandaigua that has gone through several iterations before being bought by a startup in 2017. While at Akoustis Technologies, my roles have changed through equipment engineering and maintenance roles to maintenance manager, reliability manager and facility engineering. I have worked through all phases of process equipment management from tool selection, budgeting, facilities planning and installation as well as startup and commissioning including all types of chemical handling, waste management, gas system design, layout and abatement, most of it directly hands on. I am HAZWOPPER trained and certified and have been actively involved with emergency response my entire career. Working with vendors and contractors to ensure safe and reliable installations has been paramount for me. I first met Mike at Kodak where we worked together on a variety of toxic gas system installations and continued to work with him and EERC after leaving Kodak through the next three employers. We collaborate on many topics and TGM related issues and I occasionally work and consult with EERC today.
