Kenneth J. Stein, Ph.D.
Dr. Stein holds a Ph.D. in entomology and is an avid naturalist and photographer. During his career he has conducted research and published in the fields of public health, wetland ecology, herpetology, botany, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Dr. Stein's most recent research involves the modeling of tick populations as a function of habitat structure. This research led to the development of tick threat assessment maps for use on U. S. military and federal lands. These maps have many uses but primarily served as a guide to help natural resource and military personnel avoid tickborne diseases. Dr. Stein also has a keen interest in ephemeral wetlands, especially the trophic level distribution of aquatic insects.
During his time conducting research in Egypt, Dr. Stein rekindled his childhood interest in Egyptology. Specifically, what the Ancient Egyptians knew about the natural sciences. Dr. Stein has an extensive collection of photos from the tombs of the Pharaohs and provides presentations on fish and wildlife ecology, and agricultural practices among others. Dr. Stein has published many photos from his Ancient Egypt collection and some of these have been used in television documentaries.
At present, Dr. Stein currently works as a consultant, most recently evaluating a project for the Greater Cleveland Lead Advisory Council. He has significant consulting experience as an entomologist/taxonomist, including courtroom experiences as an expert witness.
