Research engineer investigating negative and zero index of refraction like behavior in acoustic wave guides. Experiments are conducted by exciting mechanical waves in aluminum plates via a laser source or ultrasonic transducer and measuring the excited surface displacements with an optical interferometer. Anomalous wave behavior such has lensing, cloaking, and beam steering are studied and demonstrated.
Project Engineer performing failure analysis, specializing in commercial accident reconstruction and mechanical system failure analysis. Accident reconstructions performed with mathematical models, computer simulation (HVE), and full-scale testing. Consumer and industrial products are inspected and tested in accordance with ANSI, OSHA, or other authoritative standards.
Product engineer performing test, design, and analysis of military aircraft defense systems. Focus on structural and thermodynamic computational modeling.
