Bio

In school, mechanical engineers are taught to model materials as linear, isotropic materials. However, with the complexity of today's mechanisms and materials, this isn't a good approach. What you need is someone who is comfortable with dealing with non-linear, anisotropic materials in advanced systems. Also, mechanical engineers usually aren't comfortable with the details of the materials that they deal with. Even common steel alloys aren't quite isotropic, and controlling the crystal growth and direction can substantially improve the performance of the material. How about nanocrystalline materials? That sounds expensive, but what is it? Can your engineering team take advantage of this? This is where I come in. I am a mechanical engineer with a background in solid mechanics (and fracture mechanics/failure analysis) and machine design (especially with advanced mechanisms). With my research work over the past few years, I have had to also pick up a thorough knowledge of the materials science of metallurgy in everything from steel and manganese alloys to exotic titanium alloys. I'll tell you this much, a mechanical engineer with the experience in materials science is both a rare find and a valuable asset. So, what can I do for you? I promise you won't be disappointed!

I am good at

I make electricity from the thermal energy in the air. This is an opportunity to solve the biggest problem on the planet: how will we provide energy for 10 billion people without killing the planet?
