Experience Summary

• Registered Professional Engineer and a Fellow of American Society of Civil Engineers

• Professional experience in the structural engineering of nuclear, fossil, hydroelectric power plants, pulp and paper manufacturing facilities, underground structures, road and railroad bridges and other industrial facilities.

• Long experience in machine foundation including wind turbine tower foundations

• Developed and tested commercial grade computer algorithms for dynamic and finite element analysis of STAAD/GTSTRUDL software

I have approximately 15 years of direct nuclear experience both in design/analysis and construction/maintenance of power issues to Pilgrim, Turkey Point and Vogtle 3 &4. I have also 12 years of experience in the development and use of STAAD/GTSTRUDL. It should be noted here that 15-year and 12-year experiences did not happen one after the other. Most of the period of experiences overlapped.
