Careers in Thermal Sciences

Consultants in the Thermal Sciences Practice have diverse training and educational backgrounds. The majority of us possess a Ph.D. or Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Fire Protection Engineering, Aeronautics and Astronautics, or Nuclear Engineering from some of the best academic programs in the world. We have specific expertise in combustion and reaction kinetics, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, compressible flow and thermodynamics.

In addition to our technical consulting work, we strongly emphasize professional development. Our consultants publish in peer-reviewed journals, sit on technical committees, and present at conferences. Working in the Thermal Sciences Practice will allow you to do advanced problem solving within industry, while maintaining your academic credentials. Many of our consultants have held academic positions at universities and currently sit on technical committees of various professional organizations.
