Works in the area of structural analysis, design and testing of advanced composites. Has experience in finite element modeling, design, manufacturing, testing, and non-destructive evaluation of composites, including performing tests according to ASTM standards and modifying ASTM standards to needs. Statistical modeling experience includes sampling techniques for use with Bayesian modeling.
