A Ph.D. aeronautical and astronautical engineering expert with more than 40 years of experience focuses on structural dynamics, aeroelasticity, and advanced aerospace systems, including aircraft and rotorcraft structures, hypersonic applications, and active material technologies. His work spans the design and analysis of wings, flaps, slats, and control surfaces, as well as the integration of sensors, actuators, and energy harvesting systems used in aerospace and mechanical environments.

In addition to hands-on engineering work, he has led multidisciplinary development programs as a chief technology officer while also contributing to academic instruction and research in advanced aerospace engineering topics, including structural dynamics and composite materials. His experience includes finite element modeling, computational fluid dynamics, experimental testing, and validation of complex systems, along with involvement in NASA and Department of Defense programs related to aircraft, rotorcraft, and space-based structures, including hardware tested for spaceflight applications.

He has also provided expert analysis in litigation involving aircraft incidents, structural failures, and engineering performance issues, supported by experience preparing expert reports and delivering deposition and trial testimony. His background further includes evaluation of contractual engineering matters, cost considerations, and performance requirements, bringing together technical design expertise with real-world application in aerospace systems and dispute resolution.
