I have 21 years of experience, and specialize in the field of mechanical engineering with specific knowledge in the areas of heat transfer, mechanical vibrations and thermal sciences. I have published on such topics as experimental and theoretical heat transfer, acoustic scattering and vibration, and railroad bearing failure analysis. My work has identified the root cause of railroad temperature trending, a problem that has plagued the railroad industry for many years. My team and I are working on new techniques for bearing condition monitoring.
