1. What is your title?
Principal Technical Support Engineer
2. How long have you been working for Invensys?
6 years
3. Where did you go to school and what degree(s) do you have?
Lehigh University, BS Chemical Engineering 1978, MS Chemical Engineering 1979
4. Why did you choose to go for those degree(s)?
I found it to be the most interesting engineering discipline.
5. Why did you come to work for Invensys?
I wanted to work in the OTS group.
6. Tell us about the toughest case you ever handled.
Dynsim installation problems can be tough. The problem with Dynsim installations is that each one seems to have a different problem. For example, one time an SQL Server did not install properly, so it had to be done manually (could not let Dynsim do it). Another time, users had several machines where they needed to complete an installation, and all but one installed fine. So, the question is, why did the one machine not install properly? It is not always easy finding the answer, but you must keep trying until you do.
7. What is one common error that people can avoid making in their simulation?
Check for inconsistent units of measure.
8. What is your favorite part of your job?
Problem solving.
9. What would you say to someone considering Chemical Engineering?
If you are interested, go for it.
10. What do you like to do in your spare time?
I like to golf and workout.
11. Tell us something interesting about yourself that others may not know.
In 1981, I won the West Virginia State Chess Championship.
