Piotr Parasiewicz is an Austrian-American river professor, Director of Rushing Rivers Institute, and the creator of the Mesohabitat Simulation Model (MesoHABSIM). He holds a Ph.D in Natural resource management and Water Engineering. He has been working to restore rivers to their natural state and conserve water for human use, including the Quinebaug River, Fort River, Saugatuck River & Aspetuck River, Eightmile River (Connecticut River), and Delaware River.

Education

Parasiewicz began his studies in 1985 at the University of Agricultural Sciences in Vienna, Austria, receiving his B.S. degree in Environmental and Water Engineering. He continued his education at the University of Agricultural Sciences and in 1993 he received his M.S. degree in Environmental and Water Engineering. In 1998 he received his Ph.D in Natural Resources Management and Water Engineering. He gained additional training in 1994 at the Utah State University in Logan, in using the computer-based Physical Habitat Simulation (PHABSIM) and Instream Flow Incremental Methodology (IFIM),and later Stream Habitat Sampling Techniques at Colorado State University, in Fort Collins.

Career

Between 1984 and 1999 he resided in Vienna, Austria, with his wife, Maria Parasiewicz,[1] and their two children while working at the University of Agricultural Sciences as a Research Assistant and University Lecturer in the Department of Hydrobiology, Fisheries and Aquaculture. The following year he moved with his family to the United States and worked as a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the New York Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit at Cornell University. Between 2000 and 2004 he was the Director of the Instream Habitat Program at Cornell University and the Research Associate IV in the Department of Natural Resources. Between 2003 and 2004 he transitioned to the University Of Massachusetts (U.Mass.) in Amherst, working for the Department of Natural Resources Conservation as a Research Associate Professor from 2004 to 2007. During this time he was also an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Natural Resources Management and Engineering at the University of Connecticut (U.Conn.), in Storrs, Connecticut.

In 2007, Piotr inaugurated the Rushing Rivers Institute, a river science non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of water resources for environmental and human use, of which he is the director. He is also an adjunct professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

He is best known as a developer of the Mesohabitat Simulation Model, which provides computer simulation models of instream habitat for fish and mussels.

In 2012 he completed habilitation at the S. Sakowicz Inland Fisheries Institute in Poland and took there an associate professor position. He serves on technical committee of European Inland Fisheries and Aquaculture Advisory Commission[2] of FAO.
