Kenny Crager
Graduate Student
I am an Operations Analyst Researcher at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, specializing in environmental and spatiotemporal analyses. I am drawn to extreme environments and extreme conditions, and learning how everything is connected. I leverage my experiences as a former Naval Oceanographer, conducting research and analysis on the operationalization of the environment: How does it impact humans, society, and technology, and what can we do about it? How can we adapt? I also lead diverse teams of engineers and scientists in a variety of analytical efforts.
