Biography

Stevan received his PhD in Biology from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in 2004 where his research focused on the ecology of lotic ecosystems. Stevan joined the CAP LTER following postdoctoral work with the EPA in Athens, Georgia. As Site Manager (2006-2015), Stevan helped to orchestrate the CAP LTER's long-term monitoring programs and experiments. Stevan transitioned into the position of CAP LTER Information Manager in 2015, and now coordinates the CAP LTER's data needs as well as assists students and investigators with research data management.
