Industrial and human factors engineering expert witness with more than 15 years of experience applying biomechanics, safety engineering, and human factors principles to the analysis of incidents, systems, and environments. Their work includes litigation support involving accident analysis, product liability, and safety-related matters, with experience providing consultation, deposition testimony, and courtroom testimony. They have served as a primary retained expert in over 100 litigation matters, with documented deposition and trial testimony addressing human-system interaction, visibility, and risk perception in complex environments. A credibility anchor is reflected through peer-reviewed research and presentations within the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, along with participation in governance and technical leadership activities within that organization. Credentials include a Master of Science in Industrial and Human Factors Engineering and a Bachelor of Science in Bioengineering. Additional qualifications include a User Experience and Design Thinking certificate and ongoing doctoral studies in engineering.

Their expertise spans several interrelated technical areas within human factors and engineering analysis. This includes biomechanics and injury evaluation, warnings and labeling analysis, product user-interface design, and assessment of safety systems across manufacturing, transportation, and consumer product settings. Their work also involves site inspections, accident reconstruction, and preparation of engineering analyses and expert reports evaluating human behavior, perception, and system performance in dynamic conditions such as distracted or drowsy driving, work zones, and premises safety. Additional areas of focus include medical device usability, autonomous systems, and application of ergonomic and user-centered design principles to identify risk factors and improve safety outcomes.

The expert’s professional background includes progressive leadership in forensic engineering and consulting environments, including involvement with engineering consulting firms where responsibilities included leading engineering analyses, conducting nationwide site inspections, and developing demonstrative materials and reconstructions to support case evaluation. Their work includes application of industry standards and regulatory requirements to assess compliance and mitigate risk in high-stakes environments, supporting objective evaluation of safety practices and system design.
