Court Testimony Experience
A Ph.D.–trained Mechanical Engineer specializing in industrial crane control and advanced automation serves as an expert witness in disputes involving motion control systems, robotics, and dynamic mechanical performance. He has more than 20 years of professional experience in system dynamics and controls engineering. His expert witness practice includes preparation of expert reports and declarations, deposition testimony, and trial testimony in federal courts and proceedings before the International Trade Commission and the Patent Trial and Appeal Board . Matters have included industrial crane incidents, collision avoidance systems, programmable logic controller (PLC) process control, machine vision integration, vibration analysis, engineering warnings, and intellectual property disputes involving automation technologies.
His technical work centers on industrial crane and robotic material-handling systems, including development of anti-sway control architectures, robotic trajectory synthesis, motion-planning algorithms, and collision-avoidance technologies deployed in large-scale industrial environments. Research efforts under his direction have examined crane safety systems, motion planning strategies, and human factors in crane control, with emphasis on operator interaction, system response, and vibration suppression. Additional expertise encompasses flexible-body dynamics, kinematics, feedback control design, sensor integration, photogrammetry, and advanced automation for manufacturing and material handling.
Professional leadership includes founding and serving as Chief Technology Officer of an engineering firm focused on automation design, analysis, and litigation support , as well as prior executive-level technical leadership in advanced robotic and nuclear-handling systems. Academic appointments include service as Adjunct Associate Professor in mechanical engineering, where he teaches mechatronics, advanced control design, product development, intellectual property, and product liability. He is a named inventor on U.S. patents related to crane motion control and haptic systems and has authored peer-reviewed journal and conference publications in motion control and dynamic systems. Educational credentials include a Ph.D., M.S., and B.S. in Mechanical Engineering.
Disputes involving crane accidents, automated material-handling failures, or control-system design questions often require examination of motion-planning logic, vibration behavior, operator interface dynamics, and the engineering assumptions embedded within industrial automation systems.
