  • Apr 1995 - May 2005

  Provided technical leadership and expertise in the areas of system dynamics, control systems, signal processing and analysis for a wide range of consulting projects. Key projects include. - Acoustic Data Acquisition, Analysis, and Control – Assessment of harmful effects of noise; determination of safety benefits obtained from active noise reduction measures. - Medical Controls – Development of highly accurate controllers for medical applications. Prototyped system (using off-the-shelf Galil motion-controllers) to control 3-DOF PCLM stages for medical product; achieved micron-level accuracy. - Dynamics modeling Development of accurate numerical models of vehicle dynamic systems for assessing performance of driver assist systems for vehicle crash-avoidance in mixed modal-traffic. Heavy vehicle suspension systems such as tow tractors and specialized army vehicles and commercial heavy duty trucks. Rail-vehicle dynamic models to evaluate dynamic performance of ballastless track-forms for the Kowloon Canton Rail System. Analyzed and modeled characteristics of rail fasteners for SEPTA. Developed DADS-based dynamic model to study low-speed impact of flatbed railcars carrying hazardous materials. - Signal processing Pipeline Monitoring – instrument pipelines for data acquisition, signal processing and analysis for remote monitoring of pipelines to mitigate effects of 3rd party damage. Prototyped field-deployable LabView-based data acquisition system. Analyzed acquired signals using variety of advanced signal processing and identification methods. Developed time and frequency-domain algorithms to detect faults. Show less
