Bio
I’m a computational engineer with over a decade of consulting experience in modeling complex physical systems. These systems include novel solar technologies, blood-contacting medical devices, microfluidic diagnostics, electrochemical storage, and fusion-target physics. My education combines chemical engineering with computational and mathematical training, and my current work combines the two.
Before I founded Spann Engineering Consulting LLC, I spent several years as a Principal at Veryst Engineering. There I worked across industries on simulation problems where the answer mattered enough to require a careful model rather than a back-of-the-envelope estimate.
The work I enjoy most is what I do now. I take on hard, well-scoped engineering problems for clients who care about getting the right answer. To solve them, I use whatever combination of finite element analysis (FEA), custom code, and AI tools the problem needs.
