Bio: Dr. Finley began his career as an environmental consultant in the Ann Arbor, Michigan area, progressing to the rank of Senior Chemical Engineer at Applied Science and Technology, Inc. The majority of his consulting projects involved air quality monitoring, modeling, and permitting. In 1996, he joined the faculty of Tri-State University, where he currently serves as Vice President for Academic Affairs.

Major research efforts have included the use of photo-acoustic spectroscopy to measure ambient elemental carbon concentrations, development of the Landfill Odor Characterization Model, and development of the MMk Model to more accurately describe landfill gas generation kinetics. His current research interests include improved educational/learning methodologies in engineering education and entrepreneurship.
