ABOUT MIKE DEREVIANKIN

Forensic Chemist | Environmental Data Consultant | Source Allocation & Litigation SupportI am a forensic chemist and environmental consultant specializing in source allocation, data analysis, and litigation support for complex contamination cases. My work focuses on identifying and interpreting environmental contaminant patterns, particularly polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), dioxins (PCDD/Fs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and heavy metals. I’ve provided forensic analysis for Superfund sites, industrial spills, and toxic tort cases, helping clients understand the source, extent, and potential impact of environmental contamination.My expertise lies in applying advanced statistical methods and chemometric tools, including multivariate analysis and machine learning, to uncover patterns in complex environmental data. I\'ve supported litigation cases involving environmental exposure and toxic torts, working with leading law firms and regulatory agencies to strengthen their case strategies with sound scientific analysis.I have experience developing conceptual site models, interpreting biomonitoring data, and performing source attribution studies for groundwater, soil, and sediment contamination. My work also includes supporting site remediation efforts by providing insights into contaminant transport and fate.Key Areas of Expertise:•Environmental forensics and source allocation•Litigation support for toxic tort and contamination cases•Chemometric analysis of contaminant data (PCBs, PAHs, PCDD/Fs, heavy metals)•Multivariate dimensionality reduction (PCA, t-SNE, UMAP)•Conceptual site model development•Geospatial analysis using QGISI’m passionate about helping clients untangle complex environmental data to provide clear, actionable insights.
