Analysis, FEA, CFD, Medical Devices, Heat Transfer, Elastomers, Diffusion, Solar, Coupled Systems
Real invention and innovation most often springs from cross-fertilization and analogies from broad experience, quite apart from an entire career in a narrow field. See, for instance, Holyak and Thagard, "Mental Leaps: Analogy in Creative Thought". Expert is a broad…
Aluminium Wire Production and Products
Expert graduated in Metallurgy at the University of Sheffield in England and went on to complete a PhD in the thermodynamics and electrochemistry of high temperature, pseudo refining reactions. His first role in industry required the use of this electrochemical…
Pulsed Power, High Voltage, and Power Electronics
Expert has over three decades' industrial experience with pulsed power. In this capacity, he has worked on a wide variety of pulse generators and power systems, as well as rep-rated modulators that deliver high voltages (i.e., kV and MV levels)…
Process Control; Motor Synchronization & Control; Machine Control; Corona Generation (high voltage)
Expert improved a lab prototype system into a commercial, reliable automatic concentration controller, which was used successfully in many textile finishing mills to control concentrations of chemical used for bleaching and for dye oxidation. Plant personnel operated it and performed…
Powder Coating and Metal Finishing, Media Blasting, etc.
An area that Expert has extensive experience is in sandblasting and the more general description for the industry, media blasting. Having written a book "Media Blasting" for The Eastwood Company Expert has extensive knowledge of types of medias used in…
