Petroleum EngineerAerospace engineerMechanical engineerEngineer

I am an innovative Senior Engineer with a PhD in Mechanical Engineering and more than 30 years in technology development for a range of challenging real-world applications. I have an established track record in patented mechanical, electromechanical, and electromagnetic inventions with expert skill-level in FEA simulation, Mechanical Design, Classical Mechanics, Acoustics, and Electromagnetism. I am an expert in the use of closed-form and analytical methods, as well as FEA (Comsol, Ansys, Nastran) and numerical tools (MatLab, Fortran, etc.) in developing solutions to difficult problems in aerospace and downhole systems. I have broad experience solving complex analytical and simulation-based problems involving trade-offs and optimization in the development of new technology systems. My work has demonstrated strong analytical thinking and the ability to evaluate mechanical design correctness while serving as Chief Mechanical Engineer and on design and failure review committees. In addition to my patent history, some of my work can also be found in high-impact scientific journals.
