Exponent Inc.
As an Associate Thermal Engineer at Exponent's Thermal Sciences Practice, I have worked across thermal-fluid modeling, HVAC/mechanical systems, testing, failure analysis, and engineering risk assessment.
01
Thermal Analysis
-
Developed a 1D heat-transfer model in Python to investigate bearing temperature difference of ~5°C bearing temperature difference and identify potential causes of thermal imbalance in an offshore wind turbine
-
Analyzed hotel HVAC design and performance using Trane TRACE 700 to evaluate system design and support technical dispute investigations
02
Root-Cause Analysis (RCA)
Conducted 5+ root-cause investigations of process safety incidents in oil & gas facilities and chemical-transport through analysis of operating procedures, code compliance, and technical evidence
03
Design Reviews
Reviewed 30K+ mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC (MEP) design drawings for a major airport infrastructure program dispute, tracking design changes across a multidisciplinary construction project
04
Experimental Setup and Analysis
Evaluated integrity of 7 gas connector samples using a three-bend test setup in front of client and opposing experts
05
Process Hazard Analysis
Assessed chemical hazards and process safety across oil & gas facilities by reviewing 100+ Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&ID) and performing Quality Control (QC) of PHAST consequence modeling for facility-wide scenarios
