PersonnelQ-Metrics personnel offer technical expertise and background experience over a diverse range of industries, including aerospace, automotive, avionics, defense, electronic packaging, energy, litigation support, manufacturing, marine, nuclear, and process technology. Gregory J. Banken, P.E. serves as President of Q-Metrics and as senior analyst. Mr. Banken has been involved with numerous large-scale projects and is a recognized expert in his fields of heat transfer, fluid flow, and energy. He has served as a technical consultant for 22 years and has a total of 30 years of engineering experience. He is a registered Professional Engineer in the State of Washington and holds a master of science degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Washington and a bachelor of science degree in aerospace engineering from the University of Minnesota. His past projects have spanned a variety of applications, from avionics design for military aircraft, consulting with King County on the repair of the Kingdome, an energy evaluation for a Chinese paper mill, analysis and design of equipment for handling, storing, and transporting nuclear material, and the thermal design of a remotely piloted submersible vehicle for classified operations. He is currently serving as the lead thermal consultant for a number of commercial and government nuclear related projects. Mr. Banken has authored the thermal sections for over 20 safety analysis reports (SARs). Kent C. Smith, P.E. has 20 years of experience providing mechanical design and analysis for a variety of industries. He has extensive experience in thermal and structural analysis and in mechanical system design. He has provided design and construction support for geothermal, diesel, and nuclear power plants, provided design and installation expertise for automation control systems for high-rise office buildings, been involved with the analysis, design, installation, and certification of nuclear material handling equipment, managed the mechanical design of medical CT scanner, and led the development of the pre-scanner mechanical subsystems for a new explosive detection scanner for use in airports. Mr. Smith has expertise in the use of several analytical tools, including ANSYS, SINDA/FLUINT, Thermal Desktop, Solid Designer, Mechanical Desktop, and ProEngineer. David C. Peterson has 30 years experience in engineering analysis and design, with emphasis in fluid mechanics, dynamics, and heat transfer. He holds MSME and BSME degrees from the University of Minnesota. His experience includes the design of ROV propulsion and maneuvering systems (including scale model and full scale test), design of a low drag communication buoys and suspended arrays for Navy, development of a ballasting simulation software and advisory control system for North Sea Sun Oil Balmoral production vessel, and thermal modeling of electronic packages for Centaur and Apollo space programs. Professor Ashley F. Emery serves as a technical consultant to Q-Metrics. Dr. Emery served as a professor at the University of Washington since receiving his PhD from the University Of California at Berkeley in 1961. From 1994 to 1997 he served as the chairman of the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Washington. He is currently serving as Program Director for Thermal Transport and Thermal Processing, Chemical and Transport Division, at the National Science Foundation in Washington DC. Dr. Emery has or is serving on a number of ASME committees, including the ASME committees for Fundamental Heat Transfer (K-8), Experimental and Computational Techniques (K-16), Aircraft and Aeronautical Heat Transfer (K-12), Computational Heat Transfer (K-20), Committee on Heat Transfer Awards (K-5), National Heat Transfer Conference Coordinating Committee, Solar Engineering-Passive, and the Applied Mechanics Review Coordinating Board. |
