1997 to date
Golder Associates Inc. Denver, Colorado
Technical Director, Hydrogeology
As Technical Director, Dr. Kroitoru is responsible for providing technical
leadership in the fields of hydrogeology and geochemistry for groundwater, surface
water and soil investigations, application of state-of-the-art technologies
for environmental monitoring and remediation, and development and application
of data management and GIS tools. Responsibilities also include domestic and
international environmental marketing activities and professional direction
and technical development of staff through project and program management.
1990 to 1997
Roy F. Weston Rockville, Maryland
Technical Director
Dr. Kroitoru was responsible for technical support on project requiring applications
of state-of-the-art technologies and interpretative tools for support of industrial,
municipal as well as governmental clients such as Lockheed Martin, EPA, NYC-DOS,
DOE and DOD. Dr. Kroitoru was Project Manager for the peer review and geological
data management support for Lockheed Martin Corporate, Burbank Project Office.
He was also responsible for WESTON’s international marketing and consulting
activities on various projects in the Middle East. He was involved with the
support for the DOE’s Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management (OCRWM),
on hydrogeological and site characterization related issues for the Yucca Mountain
site. Battelle contracted him to consult during public hearings, on the siting
of a low level nuclear waste disposal facility in Illinois.
1988 to 1990
Battelle - OWTD
(Office of Waste Technology Development) Willowbrook, Illinois
Project Manager / Principal Geoscientist
Dr. Kroitoru’s responsibilities as a Project Manager in Battelle included
the management and direction of projects to achieve goals set by U.S. DOE’s
Repository Technology Development Program for research and development of geoscience
techniques and methods for high level nuclear waste storage in a geologic repository.
While with Battelle, Dr. Kroitoru was also responsible for planning and conducting
the hydrogeochemical studies of sites that were investigated for the Illinois
Low Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Facility Siting Project.
1983 to 1988
The Weizmann Institute of Science Israel
During the course of research for his thesis, The Characterization of Flow
Systems in Carbonatic Rocks Defined by the Groundwater Parameters, Dr. Kroitoru
performed geochemical/isotopic and hydrological investigations and modeling,
as well as hydrogeological field and laboratory analyses. In addition, he applied
for and received various research grants.
1983 to 1988
Battelle - ONWI
(Office of Nucelar Waste Isolation) Columbus, Ohio
Project Manager
As a Project Manager his responsibilities included the management of hydrogeological
activities for the selection of a suitable site for the isolation of high level
nuclear waste in deep salt beds in the Paradox Basin, Utah and the Permian Basin,
Texas. Activities included: proposal preparation for field activities, contractor
supervision, technical report preparation, review of technical reports, client
orientation, project set-up and cost analysis.
1976 to 1981
Tahal, Water Planning Consultant Israel
Geologist
As a geologist in the hydrological department Dr. Kroitoru was involved in
the development of groundwater resources in arid and semi-arid areas, and in
the Mediterranean - Dead Sea tunnel design. His activities included selection,
inspection and consultation at drilling sites, conducting and analyzing aquifer
tests, hydrogeological field mapping, hydrological modeling and groundwater
resource evaluation studies.
