Hamed Shahi, Ph.D., P.E.

Senior Consultant

Dr. Shahi is a licensed Mechanical Engineer and Senior Consultant at Engineering Systems Inc. (ESi), with over a decade of expertise in the Automotive, Aerospace, and Oil & Gas industries. He holds a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, specializing in multiphase thermal cavitation flows in tribological contacts within powertrains.

Throughout his career, Dr. Shahi has been instrumental in the design and development of critical systems and subsystems, including internal combustion engines, gas turbines, cryogenic turbomachinery (pumps and turbopumps), high-performance transmission systems, seals, bearings, heat exchangers, and environmental control and life support systems (ECLSS) for spacecraft.

His extensive experience encompasses advanced analytical and numerical modeling techniques, including Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and Rotordynamics. Dr. Shahi leverages these skills to identify the root causes of mechanical failures, damages, and fractures, both in preventative analysis and post-incident investigations.
