Mechanical Engineer Analyst, Data Experiments
Analyst for experiments aimed to study the behavior of new metallic alloys for
aeronautical applications (turbine foils). The pipe specimens of those alloys
simultaneously pressed axial and radically from inner to outer surface in a
high temperature environment. After the data acquisition of the experiment,
processed the data with programs written by me at FORTRAN. I presently
remain in an active business capacity with the Institute.
