Expert is the president of a consulting firm. He has more than 20 years of experience in industrial research and development and more than 30 years experience in academia. He worked for BOC Coating Technology investigating and developing vacuum and plasma technologies and thin film coatings in order to transfer the results to production. He was a Research Professor in the Department of Materials Engineering and later in the Department of Physics and Engineering Physics at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey. He is a Director of Plasma and Surface Analysis at Orthobond, Inc. in North Brunswick, NJ. Expert has taught graduate and general educational courses in gas discharge physics, plasma processing, vacuum deposition technologies,and thin solid films at colleges and scientific conferences.

Expert created a consulting company that has provided consulting to more than 30 clients that include large and small companies. Expert with his co-workers conducted research and development supported by government grants and contracts with industry. He also gave seminars and one-day courses at both conferences and promises of private companies.

Expert has made substantial contributions to the development and implementation of reactive sputter-deposition of dielectrics by pulsed DC reactive magnetron sputtering (PDCRS) and pulsed DC gas flow sputtering (PDCGFS) using a hollow cathode. He has developed two new technologies, Biased Dual Magnetron Sputtering (BDMS) and Dual Anode Sputtering (DAS) that are now established industrial processes. He is actively developing various plasma processes including plasma cleaning of large surface areas (PCLA) of metals and other surfaces, plasma oxidation, plasma enhanced CVD with shower-head type radical source (SHPECVD), and water purification using discharge in bubbled water(DBW), and gas and surface treatment using atmospheric dielectric-barrier discharge (DBD). The success of expert in R&D is based greatly on its tight collaborations with Stevens Institute of Technology, Structured Materials Industries, BOC Group, Advanced Energy Industries, and other companies.
