    Download CV Case Study

    Dr. Amy Gray is a licensed mechanical engineer with expertise in thermal-fluid sciences. She applies this specialized knowledge to provide clients with consultation regarding fires, explosions, and mechanical product liability. Failure investigations conducted by Dr. Gray have included fuel gas explosions, aircraft accidents involving fires, tank and boiler ruptures, natural gas pipeline and utility incidents, fuel spread and dispersion, gas-fueled appliances, and chemical processing plant incidents. Additionally, Dr. Gray has experience in Dust Hazard Analysis (DHA), Process Hazard Analysis (PHA), and Computed Tomography (CT) data analysis.

    Prior to joining ESi, Dr. Gray gained experience in the design and implementation of aircraft cooling systems. Her graduate research was related to the gas transport and internal-reforming chemistry of alternative fuels within various solid oxide fuel cell anode support materials. She designed, built, and optimized a unique experimental reactor, a protocol utilizing both mass spectrometry (MS) and gas chromatography (GC), and a computational fluid dynamics model including gas-phase and catalytic reactions for the analysis of fuel cell anodes. Dr. Gray also has experience with ceramics processing, material microstructure characterization, and the dispersion and measurement of aerosols.
