SUMMARY
OF PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:
l My professional experience basically involves the supervision, l direction and application of advanced analytical techniques such as finite element analysis, finite difference techniques and specialized Fortran programming to a wide variety of engineering assignments. I have a broad background in areas involved with design, analysis and modification of both nuclear plants l
- under construction and operating nuclear plants. These areas I include welding; NDE; ASME Codes and Quality Assurance. I have also been an expert witness in the NRC licensing process and I have a general familiarity with the NRC licensing process.
In addition to these areas I have held supervisory and administrative positions over various groups performing analytical design l
and development tasks. I have also been active in part-time i
teaching at various colleges. Overall I believe that I have l experience in both the management and the performance of advanced i technical efforts.
