Congratulations! AER President Guy Seeley presents annual awards
AER Employee of the Year
Amy McVey charted a new course in business development for AER in software-as-a-service beyond her role as key developer and regulatory expert for the AQcast AERMOD and SCICHEM models, presenting demos to potential clients, gathering market intelligence, developing pricing, and leading our advertising efforts. Her scientific and technical skills led to her first project wins as a Principal Investigator, and she developed her own research project to use AERMOD to forecast the impacts of accidental pollutant releases. She developed web-based user interfaces for AERMOD and SCICHEM and has taken over the development of the AQcast system from Ethan Fahy's team. She also collaborated with the GreenLITE team and organized several activities for Verisk Pride Boston. Amy is a role model for AER employees.
