Professor, major university

Has taught undergraduate and graduate courses in vibrations, engineering analysis, feedback control, acoustics, random vibrations, theory of machines, flight dynamics, aircraft performance and controls, heat transfer, computational methods and aerodynamics, and has performed research in the above areas, has had consulting jobs, and has served as an expert witness.

Principal Engineer, Battelle Columbus Laboratories

Was involved in the analysis of vehicle, structural, and machinery dynamics, acoustics, and digital computer programming. Has modeled rail and off-road vehicles to investigate stability, steady state motion, transients, and random phenomena. Typical results have been used to determine passenger comfort, vehicle safety, and loading. Structures have been modeled to predict natural frequencies and mode shapes, and random, transient and steady loads. Results have led to design changes. Machinery dynamics investigations have included resonances, unbalance, isolation, and failure analyses.

Engineer, Goodyear Aerospace

Was responsible for rigid body, mid-air recovery, and parachute deployment dynamics; trajectory dynamics; and tethered balloon dynamics and stability. Derived equations of motion, developed computer codes, and wrote technical reports.

ADDITIONAL EXPERIENCE
