Subodh R. Medhekar, Ph.D., P.E., CRE

Dr. Medhekar’s practice focuses on addressing risk and reliability issues. Dr. Medhekar specializes in evaluating technologies and manufacturing operations, and reviewing process/product designs for the purpose of proactive reduction of failures and hazards. He conducts FMEA, PHA, HAZOP, MTBF, reliability, root cause, fault tree, event tree, and uncertainty analyses.

Over the last 10 years, Dr. Medhekar has provided risk assessment and management consulting services to various Automotive OEM’s and Tier 1 suppliers, Semiconductor, Medical and Biomedical, Chemical/Petrochemical, Nuclear Power, and various other Manufacturing facilities. He has authored or coauthored more than 50 technical publications/reports and presented a number of papers and short courses with topics ranging from performing complex reliability investigations, identifying and managing risks under PSM/OSHA Act, practical FMEAs for product design, performing risk and reliability assessments for automotive, semiconductor, biomedical, and process industries, pipeline risk assessments, fault tree analysis, source term modeling, and Bayesian uncertainty analysis.

Dr. Medhekar also uses his expertise as a chemical engineer in the investigation and prevention of accidents, with particular emphasis on safety and risk. He provides consulting services to the chemical and petrochemical process (LNG/NG and Refinery sector) industries, specializing in the safety/risk-based evaluation/investigation of process failures, such as process upsets/explosion/fire incidents, at chemical processing and petroleum refining facilities. Dr. Medhekar’s projects have involved a wide range of equipment including chemical reactors and separation systems; pressure vessels, piping, pumps and compressors; furnaces and heat exchangers; railcars and tanker trucks; and pressure relief valves and emergency relief systems.

Prior to joining Exponent, Dr. Medhekar held a variety of consulting and engineering positions with companies that include PLG, Inc. in Newport Beach, California; the Center for Risk Studies and Safety in Santa Barbara, California; Indian Oil Refinery in Baroda, India; and Union Carbide in Thane, India.
