She worked on various projects involving electrochemically-based technologies for water, soil, and solid waste treatment, and has over 50 publications in highly-ranked international scientific journals and books. During 5 years at the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at Northeastern University, Dr. Rajic co-led Green Water Remediation Project, primarily as a postdoctoral associate and, later, as a senior research scientist.

Currently, Dr. Rajic also serves as Chief Science Officer at Pioneer Valley Coral & Natural Science Institute (PVCNSI) and Adjunct Associate Professor at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, MA.

Roderick forwent completing his PhD at UMass Amherst in the Department of Anthropology, in order to launch Pioneer Valley Coral & Natural Science Institute. His dissertation research as a socio-cultural anthropologist focuses on Afro-American civic leadership, civil society, social movement theory, critical theory, political economy, and the African Diaspora.

These research interests emerged out of his experiences of attending high school in New Britain, CT.; his time in the U.S. Air Force Reserves (Westover Air Force Base – Sgt. Security Police); ten years as a social worker for the State of Connecticut’s Department of Children and Families; and eleven years of teaching in higher-ed. He utilizes these varied experiences to engage the intersections of institutional and structural power relations of race, gender, and class.

This unique background brings together firsthand knowledge and practical experiences that engage complex issues at the regional and international levels.

From creating process flow diagrams and equipment lists for pilot plants to techno-economic models for novel sustainable technology, Linda uses her variety of experience to help growing sustainable technology companies.

She received her MS in Environmental Engineering from the University of New Hampshire.

Aidan’s academic experience is specialized in hedge funds, private equity and venture capital, financial derivatives, real assets and real estate, and sustainable finance. Over his college career, Aidan interned in a number of different areas, including a business brokerage office, a private equity firm, a wealth management firm, and with the Irish Consulate General in Boston. In completion of his economics degree, Aidan participated in systemic corruption research and the creation of corruption measurement variables.

Further, his master’s research included the creation of data vendor alternatives in cooperation with quantitative trading hedge funds over the course of the 2020 school year. Aidan began working for Elateq as a business development intern in the Winter of 2020.

He worked on various projects including design and production of microprocessor-based ultrasonic sensors for non-contact detection, fluid level measurements, collision/obstacle avoidance for automotive applications, bulk level monitoring, and doppler motion detection.

As a senior design engineer for military sonar systems, Nicholas has been developing high-power sonar transmitters for submarine acoustic countermeasures, an autonomous lobster robot, long-range sonar towed array receivers, mine detectors, and Navy R&D sonar projectors.

To Elateq, his experience brings practical hands-on electrical engineering knowledge of the development and production of electronic systems. Nicholas is a graduate of Northeastern University and a veteran of the U.S. Coast Guard.
