Dr. Hertzberg has extensive experience solving complex technical problems in a variety of industries including consumer products, medical devices, industrial equipment, degradation of power plant components, welding issues, plumbing and piping systems, surface finishing, electronic failure analysis, and technology product development. Dr. Hertzberg often works with companies addressing the technical aspects of consumer product recalls as well as interacting with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). His consumer product work includes targeted testing of new products before they are introduced into the marketplace, management of product and process changes during the course of production, use of risk methodologies, substantiation of product performance claims, failure analysis of field-returned products, consumer product recall related investigations, evaluation of proposed correction action plans (CAP) as part of consumer product recalls, and product liability. Dr. Hertzberg routinely performs failure analysis investigations on both commercial and industrial products, and addresses issues related to the mechanical behavior and degradation of materials including metal, polymer, and ceramic components. He has expertise in the areas of materials characterization, fatigue, fracture, corrosion, stress corrosion cracking (SCC), hydrogen embrittlement, and creep. Dr. Hertzberg also has a strong background in mobile computing with extensive experience with handheld/wireless device technologies and substantiation of claims, having served as the Director of Competitive Analysis and Strategy for Palm, Inc.
