A Ph.D. engineer with more than 5 years of experience in roadside safety engineering, this expert specializes in the design, testing, evaluation, and performance analysis of roadside safety systems. His expertise includes guardrails, crash cushions, roadside and median safety features, low-volume roads, cable guardrails, W-beam guardrails, concrete median barriers, temporary concrete barriers, roadside grading, ditches, trees, and highway safety appurtenances. His additional experience includes dynamic and static component testing, full-scale crash testing, LS-DYNA computer simulation, fracture behavior of steel under dynamic loading, statistical analysis of guardrail terminal performance, transportation safety research, and assisting with standardized crash testing under NCHRP Report 350 and MASH protocols, as well as full-scale crash testing for federal approval of highway safety appurtenances. He has provided expert witness services through consultations, depositions, and courtroom testimony.

His professional background includes serving as a Research Engineer within a university mechanical engineering department, where he applied impact and energy management principles to roadside safety hardware, analyzed crash accident data, and designed and managed crash tests for roadside safety components and sporting equipment. He also served as a Graduate Research Assistant at a transportation safety research facility, conducting research on roadside safety topics, investigating the material behavior of steel, preparing technical reports, and contributing to the development and evaluation of highway safety systems. In addition, he has taught courses in elasticity, continuum mechanics, fracture mechanics, and LS-DYNA while conducting research involving crashworthiness, roadside infrastructure, and transportation safety engineering.

Beyond his engineering and research activities, he has authored journal articles, technical papers and reports, and delivered professional presentations addressing guardrail systems, crash cushions, roadside grading, embankment geometry, low-volume road safety, fracture mechanics, and transportation safety performance. He earned a Ph.D. in Engineering with a concentration in Structural Engineering, a Master of Science in Civil Engineering, and a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering.
