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…
Lab Automation, LIMS, Validation & Data Analysis
Expert has developed validation plans and executed validation protocols on laboratory computer systems, laboratory information management systems, instruments and instrument data systems. He has consulted for several major pharmaceutical companies and teaches a course on chromatography data system validation at…
Biomolecular Research Resource
AMINO ACIDS; PEPTIDES; PROTEINS; PROTEIN PURIFICATION. Expert has devoted a considerable portion of his career to providing the capability to purify, sequence, and synthesize proteins. He has helped develop the technologies and protocols needed as well as implement the ideas…
Cleaning Formulae & Government Regulations
Expert has spent the majority of his career with a specialty chemical company that formulates products primarily for metal cleaning, industrial water treatment, odor control and detergents. He is particularly familiar with both solid and liquid operations that include mixing,…
Process Control, Systems, and Optimization
Most recently Expert’s work has centered on pharmaceutical batch processes requiring Food and Drug Administration (FDA) software and hardware validation. Expert notes that generally, this requires a data model (both procedural and physical) following the guidelines of ANSI/ISA S88.00.02 and…
Powder Metallurgy, Magnetic Alloy
Since 1980, Expert has been instrumental in the development of new magnetic alloys, their processing, improvement in their properties, and preparation of specifications for their usage. He has also assisted in marketing these materials and recommending their usage for new,…
Cryogenics, Food Freezing, Superconducting Systems, Deep Refrigeration
Expert has expertise in the cryogenic field, particularly in cryogenic freezer and custom cryogenic apparatus design for application of cooling in processing lines. Expert has pioneered novel methods to control temperatures, flows, heat leaks, expansion and contraction of materials, and…
Chemical Process and Design
Expert has expertise in design, system engineering, and practical applications focusing on packed and tray towers, evaporators, heat exchangers (i.e. shell and tube, spiral and plate type, and specialized heat transfer equipment), heat pumps, pressure and vacuum filtration, dryers, centrifuges,…
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…
Water Hammer, Fluid Transients, Cavitation, Valves
WATER HAMMER. Dr. C. Expert has been involved in many aspects of water hammer during the past 25 years. In addition to teaching graduate courses in the subject, he has offered a week-long short course to engineers for over 20…
