This Ph.D. is the professor of Mechanical Engineering at a major university and has previously lectured at University of Pennsylvania’s EXMSE Program and at the University of California Irvine.  He is a past chairman of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) Robotics/FMS and a founding member of the Massachusetts Quality Award.  He is the founder of the New England Lead Free Consortium, with of over 30 contributing companies which are engaged in electronics products and supply chain since its inception in 1999.  The consortium is actively researching, testing and evaluating materials and processes for lead-free and RoHS compliance, and converting to nano technology. It is funded by TURI, EPA, NSF and the member companies.  The consortium has published over 40 papers; some translated into Asian languages and won a regional EPA environmental Merit Award for business category in May 2006.  He is the author of several best-selling books on Concurrent Engineering, Six Sigma, Green Design and Engineering Project Management (in editing). He contributed 2 chapters and over 100 technical publications in his fields of research. 

This expert is an international consultant, trainer and seminar provider on lead-free, quality, Six Sigma and DoE as well as project management, technology supply chains, product design and development and electronics manufacturing and automation.  He worked for 22 years in high technology companies developing new products and state of the art manufacturing technologies. He was the speaker for the HP Executive Seminars on Concurrent Product/Process Design, Mechanical CAD Design and Test and the Motorola Six Sigma Institute.  He received B.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering and Industrial Management from MIT, an M.S. degree in Computer Science from WPI, and a Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering from Tufts. He resides in Framingham, Massachusetts.
