Mr. Keith Wagner has more than 20 years of experience as a materials scientist. He joined RJLG in 1990 and has supervisory and technical skills that focus on industrial problem solving, materials evaluation and failure analysis for commercial, legal and governmental clientele. He is responsible for project technical oversight and personnel cross training and has managed a variety of failure analysis projects applied to materials and electronics used in consumer, commercial and military applications. He has expertise in industrial problem solving for manufacturing processes and material interactions catering to the automotive, aviation, electronics and biomedical industries. He has performed numerous compositional and structural evaluations of polymeric, ceramic and metallic alloy systems. In addition, he is also skilled in optical and electron microscopy, X-ray spectral analysis techniques, mechanical properties testing among other techniques for materials characterization. Prior to RJLG, Mr. Wagner was involved with a variety of research projects dealing with environmental effects on electronics and materials and mechanical properties of metallic alloys. He has experience in nuclear weapons effects testing and post mortem analysis of electronics and materials. He has been involved in process evaluation at virtually every step in microelectronics circuit and device manufacturing. He has investigated numerous mechanical systems that include lubricated and non-lubricated component interaction. He has experience with the wear debris generated in hydraulic pressure systems, power generation systems, and cooling and heating systems. His investigations also include evaluation and analysis of active component surfaces from these systems. He is a member of National Research Council, TRB Committee A2E06; ISO, TC201 Affiliate; and American Welding Society. He has published in peer-reviewed literature. |
