With more than 40 years of experience in complex fluid systems, this chemical engineering expert witness focuses on polymers, suspensions, emulsions, and biological fluids. Their work integrates chemical engineering, rheology, fluid dynamics, and thermodynamics, with emphasis on understanding material behavior at both macroscopic and molecular levels. They have developed and applied analytical and experimental methods to evaluate fluid structure, deformation, and transport processes relevant to complex liquid systems, along with more than 20 years of expert witness experience involving consultation, deposition, and courtroom testimony.

Their technical work includes optical rheometry and the development of measurement techniques such as high-speed polarimetry, including birefringence and dichroism, as well as microscopy methods including fluorescence, phase contrast, and atomic force microscopy. These approaches are used to analyze microstructure and flow behavior in polymeric and colloidal materials, including particle orientation, viscoelastic response, and flow-induced structural changes. Additional areas of investigation involve biological fluid systems, including deformation of red blood cells in capillaries, cell division processes, and the structure and composition of tear films, as well as molecular-level analysis of monolayer orientation and deformation.

Their work also encompasses materials-related applications, including familiarity with solar cell development and the behavior of polymeric and complex materials under deformation. This experience supports evaluation of fluid and material response in complex liquid systems, including performance, stability, and structural behavior under varying conditions. Educational background includes a Doctor of Philosophy in Chemical Engineering, along with graduate and undergraduate degrees in chemical engineering.
