Engineering expert and has over 40 years of experience in power plant engineering, with a focus on fossil and nuclear generating facilities across design, construction, operations, maintenance, and decommissioning. Their work spans domestic and international projects and supports analysis of engineering performance, plant operations, and system reliability in complex energy-related matters. They have more than 5 years of experience providing expert witness services, including consultation, deposition, and courtroom testimony in disputes involving power plant construction, engineering practices, and operational issues.

Their technical background includes development and evaluation of system descriptions, process flow diagrams, piping and instrumentation diagrams, and technical specifications for fluid systems in both fossil and nuclear plants. This work also involves preparation and review of safety analysis reports and environmental impact assessments, along with application of established engineering codes and standards such as ASME, ASTM, AWS, and NFPA. Experience in plant operations includes performance testing of boilers, turbines, and auxiliary systems in accordance with power test codes, as well as maintenance of instrumentation and control systems and implementation of plant life extension and availability improvement programs.

Their experience also extends to oversight of large-scale engineering and construction activities, including coordination of multidisciplinary design efforts and evaluation of complex project execution. This includes work on nuclear facility stabilization and confinement strategies, radiological safety program development, waste management evaluation, steam generator replacement, and decommissioning of nuclear facilities. Their involvement in Department of Energy projects includes review of designs for high-level waste processing and storage systems and evaluation of engineering and construction issues at operating power plants. A published body of work addressing generating station failures and plant life extension further reflects engagement with industry analysis and technical evaluation.

The expert holds a Master of Science in Nuclear Engineering and a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and is licensed as a Professional Engineer in Mechanical Engineering and Nuclear Engineering in California.
