michael marquis

Project Manager

Mr. Marquis designs and implements analytical and GIS models and solutions. He has been instrumental in the development of numerous economic and geospatial models used in Federal lands analyses including GREM (Geothermal Royalty Evaluation Model) for geothermal royalty rate determination, EPCA (Energy Policy and Conservation Act) Phases I, II, and III Inventories, EPCA Phase I Integration, Inventoried Roadless Area analysis, as well as numerous other projects for both government and industry. In addition, he recently performed modeling for the Energy Policy Act (EPAct) 437 Coal Inventory.

Mr. Marquis’ expertise lies in constructing analytical models for statistical analysis with economic and scenario modeling. Mr. Marquis has fifteen years experience with GIS including nine years with Advanced Resources and Enegis. He has a BS in geology from The College of William and Mary.

Gabriel Ladd

Analyst

Mr. Ladd earned a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering from Boston University in 2004. As part of his undergraduate study he worked at NASA Goddard where he worked in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles/Unmanned Aircraft System (UAV/UAS) development for earth science applications. He followed this interest to the University of Maryland where he helped to establish and lead the Environmentally Conscious Precision Agriculture (ECPA) Program and the Aerial Imaging and Remote Sensing for Precision Agriculture and Environmental Stewardship (AIRSPACES). While working on his Master’s degree Mr. Ladd also worked as a mechanical engineer at NASA wallops flight facility. Mr. Ladd graduated from the Marine Estuarine and Environmental Sciences Program at the University of Maryland in 2008 with his masters in Environmental Science.

Mr. Ladd’s expertise is in design of software and hardware, data collection, data visualization and analysis. Mr. Ladd has seven years experience designing, developing and integrating UAV/UAS for earth science applications. He has worked on UAS systems from hybrid airships to UAV based Eddie Covariance systems. He has ten years experience in MATLAB software development. Four years experience developing custom GIS and analysis software to work independently and in conjunction with convention GIS and remotes sensing software. Mr. Ladd specializes in taking abstract data concepts developing data visualization tools that allow it to be easily understood.

Miklos Nadas

Analyst

Mr. Nadas provides a unique set of experiences and skills to Enegis. He studied biology, engineering, and geography and is able to incorporate all this knowledge into his projects. Mr. Nadas earned a BS degree in biology from Case Western Reserve University with a focus in mathematical biology and his interest initiated a new major at the university. After working in the gas industry, he received an MS from the University of Akron in geography and GIS and has been furthering his knowledge of the energy industry while constantly refining his technical and analytical skills.
