As the Principal Electrical Engineer at Kars' Advanced Materials, Adam utilizes a state of the art 225kV CT System to provide data visualization and analysis for forensic engineering applications. Adam's scans have been used in litigation supporting both plaintiff and defense in composite bicycle failures, fire sprinkler failures, and electronic failures ranging from E-Cigarette battery explosions to medical sensor malfunctions.
Visualizing 3D CT data requires specialized software and training in both the theory of CT reconstruction and in the use of modeling programs. As part of his work at Kars' Advanced Materials, Adam has created visualizations, reconstructions and measurements for plaintiff and defense experts and manufacturers. As a trainer, Adam has taught tenured university faculty how to use Volume Graphics reconstruction software to prove their case in court, and has taught manufacturing engineers how to use CT to improve their QA processes on the line.
As the Principal Electrical Engineer at Kars' Advanced Materials, Adam creates custom software and hardware used for forensic testing and analysis. Adam's work includes precise timing controls capable of 10ms accuracy during testing while controlling 8kW RMS loads. Adam has also created logging systems for pressure and temperature testing of plumbing systems, including long duration tests of Odalog H2S gas samplers which revealed and localized sources of cast iron pipe corrosion in a large construction defect action. Adam has also written custom datalogging code capable of reading thousands of samples per second from a hazardous experiment setup.
Adam's Technical experience with computer systems includes a tenure as one of the most requested Macintosh technicians at UC San Diego. Skills include custom software images for large lab deployment.
Adam is available to deliver staff development and training tailored towards the use of technology in the classrooms, including:
My clients have included Gil Jimenez Broadcast Design, Anaheim Band Instruments, RIMS-TCAP and The Daughters of the American Revolution.
Adam is an expert in the optimization and design of digital recording studio systems such as Digidesign's Pro Tools, Apple Logic Pro, and MOTU Digital performer.
Adam has utilized equipment ranging from a single follow-spot through intelligent lighting equipment to create lighting designs for production shows, dramatic theatre, films and musical performances. Adam is also available to teach the practical operation and theory of lighting for live events and television.
