Summary
David Haskins is a Senior Research Scientist with 12 years of cross-sector experience in ecological toxicology, currently applying his expertise at EA Engineering after postdoctoral work with USGS and Purdue. He holds a PhD from the University of Georgia where his research combined field and lab studies on contaminant bioaccumulation in reptiles and amphibians, and he has led projects on mercury, PFAS, and PFAS-free AFFF impacts across multiple wildlife species. Skilled in wildlife husbandry, metabolic physiology, and population surveys, he blends hands-on fieldwork with rigorous ecotoxicological assays to inform conservation and remediation. David’s work often focuses on physiological traits of herpetofauna to develop practical mitigation strategies for anthropogenic stressors, a niche that pairs ecological theory with applied environmental management. Based in Maryville, Tennessee, he brings a rare combination of government, academic, and consulting perspectives to complex contaminant problems.
