Experience Highlights include:1. Masters Degree in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Michigan- heavy course load in structural analysis, thermodynamics, dynamics, and mathematics.2. Many years’ customer HELPLINE support and consultancy experience for computer-aided engineering and design software.3. Numerous courseware development projects. Lead product trainer for Finite Elements, dynamics, non-linear analysis, interactive graphics, 3-D CAD.4. Registered Professional Engineer.Specifically, I have a great deal of experience in Finite Element Modeling and the analysis of structures subjected to the entire spectrum of loading, static and dynamic. My experience with the following packages is extensive: ABAQUS; HYPERMESH; ANSYS; NASTRAN.My machine experience includes: PC’s; SGI Workstations; and IBM Mainframes. The challenges of developing innovative approaches to solve customer product performance issues have been a source of great enjoyment for me. I’ve been a key-player in new product development, major account acquisition, and training/support functions for customer satisfaction. My hardware/software background makes me thoroughly “computer-literate”. That, along with my verbal/written skills, could make me a strong contributor to your product development team. It is important for me, at this stage in my career to work with a team of experts on a project that has a clearly-defined expectation to generate an important revenue stream for the company. My favorite assignments have been those that created such unexpected synergies that hard work became exhilaration and not a chore. I would like to continue residing here in Southeast Michigan. My daughter is a student at the University of Michigan (continuing the family tradition!). I do enjoy travel and have traveled extensively in Europe. Work responsibilities that call for up to 25% travel time would be appealing.Specialties: Finite Element ModelingFinite Element AnalysisDynamic Loads AnalysisLarge Deflection Contact AnalysisLaser Vibrometer Operation
