Dr. Morse specializes in the engineering analysis and experimental testing of thermal and flow processes associated with fires, explosions, and equipment failures. Dr. Morse has conducted fire cause and origin analysis in structures and in vehicles. Dr. Morse also has significant experience with several experimental techniques for fluid mechanics in both air and water facilities including pressure and temperature measurement, flow visualization, and flow velocity measurement with laser diagnostic and acoustic diagnostic methods, including Digital Particle Image Velocimetry (DPIV). Prior to joining Exponent, Dr. Morse was a graduate researcher in the Fluid Dynamics Research Laboratories at Cornell University. He has conducted research on the wakes of stationary and oscillating structures in a flow and particularly on how flow-induced vibration due to vortex shedding causes fatigue and failure of structures. A significant component to this research was extensive measurements and analysis of the fluid forcing on a structure in a flow, combined with detailed DPIV measurements of the wake flow field.
