As a metallurgist and Professor of Engineering, he has taught about the microstructural design of cast irons and the properties associated with each microstructure. He has also investigated failures of cast iron components under varied service conditions.

As a metallurgist and Professor of Engineering, he has taught the basic concepts of corrosion in water, soil, and the atmosphere. He has investigated corrosion failures - both ferrous and non-ferrous - under actual service conditions and has provided consultation to various industrial and governmental agencies in that regard.

As a metallurgist and Professor of Engineering, he has taught about heat treatment and the microstructural design of ferrous alloys and the mechanical properties associated with those microstructures. He has investigated ferrous metal failures under various service conditions and advised on methods to prevent such failures.

As a registered/licensed Professional Engineer and Professor of Engineering, he has applied the physical sciences to matters which might be subject to litigation -- a Dr. Quincy without the blood and gore. He has testified in over 175 trials in state and Federal courts in many jurisdictions in the US - both civil and criminal - those cases where the Physical Sciences reveal what has happened and why it has happened.

He performed his Sc.D. research on the martensitic transformation in Fe-Ni-C alloys and in particular on the nucleation of Martensite. As a metallurgist and Professor of Engineering, he has taught about Martensitic Transformations.

As a registered/licensed Professional Engineer, he has investigated the failure of non-metallic as well as metallic materials under actual service conditions as to the cause of that failure and the means for preventing that type of failure in the future. As a metallurgist/materials Engineer and Professor of Engineering, he has taught about the properties of materials and their failures.

As a metallurgist and Professor of Engineering, he has taught about the mechanical behavior of metals and alloys, how mechanical and thermal treatment create the microstructures which determine those behaviors, and about the failures of those materials under actual service conditions. He has provided consultation and advice to industry and government agencies in that regard.

As a registered/licensed Professional Engineer as well as a Professor of Engineering, he has taught about the design of products and has investigated the product failures in the field. He has provided advice and consultation to industry and government agencies in that regard and has testified in over 175 trials in many of which product liability was a key issue.

He did forensic engineering relative to failure of bricks on facade of building at Naval Underwater Warfare Center, Newport, RIHe did forensic engineering on cause of helicopter crash on top of PanAm Building in New York City for Lloyds of London and NY Airways.He did forensic engineering on cause of fatal gas explosion on behalf of New York City .He did forensic engineering work on multiple gas explosions in Rhode Island on behalf of the Public Utilities Commission, State Fire Marshal, local municipalities, and insurance carriers. He did forensic engineering on failures of orthopedic and vascular biomedical implants.
