Expert has 50 years of experience in ceramic processing and properties of electrical ceramics, including capacitors,multilayer ceramic capacitors, insulators, dielectrics, inductors, resistors, thermistors, sensors, transducers, varistors, superconductors, and thin-layer capacitors. He has 10 years of industrial experience and 36 years…
Material Analysis/Spectroscopy
During the past 15 years, Expert's research has become increasingly oriented toward vibrational spectroscopy, particularly Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. In the early 1980s, he developed modern step-scan FT-IR instrumentation for photoacoustic and photothermal spectroscopy of surfaces and opaque or…
Dielectric Phenomena
Some of Expert's prior work has centered on the design and appraisal of transformer insulation structures, with particular emphasis on oil/cellulose systems. This work has involved both fundamental research on mechanistic aspects and the implications for design. He has been…
Reactive Metals
A significant portion of Expert's career centered on the reduction of titanium tetrachloride, using magnesium and/or sodium to obtain titanium metal. In particular, one portion was involved with the high-capacity production of molten titanium directly via a flow reactor. This…
Sound, Vibration, and Dynamics
The employees of Expert's company have worked in many areas of applied acoustics for over 40 years. This has included the areas of audio, ultrasonics, structural acoustics, noise control and the design of quiet products, outdoor sound propagation, and machinery…
Freshwater Impact Assessment, Zebra Mussel Control, Inorganic Contaminants, etc.
Expert has published on, and is currently researching, the chemical, physical, and biological factors that control the duration, frequency, and intensity of fouling. Most of this work is related to fouling in domestic and industrial pipelines and is based on…
Power Electronics, Power Supplies
Expert is familiar with the characteristics of power semiconductor devices, and their relative strength and limitations as they are applied to power conversion equipment. His expertise also includes the non-destructive testing of devices to determine the failure mode and to…
Thin Film Science and Technology
THIN FILM APPLICATIONS; THIN FILM INTEGRATED CIRCUIT. The majority of Expert's academic, industrial, and research experience has been thin film science and technology. Although most of his experience has been in the microelectronics (semiconductor) industry, he has applied his knowledge…
