A forensic engineer specializing in electrical systems and fire causation, this expert brings over 25 years of experience in failure analysis and investigation. This expert focuses on determining the origin and cause of fires and explosions, with particular attention to electrical and electronic system failures. Investigations often involve power distribution systems, electrical contacts, and electrocution incidents, as well as the performance of controls and instrumentation in complex industrial environments.

The expert holds a Bachelor of Science in biomedical engineering and is licensed as a Professional Engineer (P.E.), with additional certification as a Certified Fire and Explosion Investigator (CFEI). This combination supports a multidisciplinary approach to analyzing how electrical systems contribute to catastrophic events.

Professional experience includes investigations of large-scale industrial incidents such as gas compressor station failures, boiler and furnace explosions, and offshore system events, in addition to numerous residential and commercial fire cases. Work has also involved evaluating petrochemical process controls and instrumentation, as well as identifying failure mechanisms in both high- and low-voltage systems.

Professional involvement includes active participation in organizations such as the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and International Association of Arson Investigators (IAAI), reflecting continued engagement in industry standards and evolving investigative practices.
