Expert is expert in the design of green buildings. His knowledge applied to the design allows such structures to be heated, cooled, ventilated, and illuminated using natural resources.
Expert has specialized in geotechnical engineering fields such as active foundations, underwater trenching, and structures on and in problematic soils.
Expert has chaired, managed, and designed various geo-environmental protection and rehabilitation projects. These incorporate environmental analysis, restoration and rehabilitation, water usage, effluent control, industrial development integration, and tourist node development.
Expert J. Expert has detailed knowledge of the design, construction, and operation of solar ponds. He is currently conducting research on small-scale solar ponds design and deployment for community energy generation needs. He has developed specialized low temperature differential heat engines that can utilize the heat generated by solar ponds.
Expert has extensive theoretical and practical experience in the fields of water and effluent purification. His fields of expertise cover desalination, reverse osmosis, aerobic and anaerobic digestors, biological processes such as composting systems and wetland systems, and self contained purification plants using natural energy. He is skilled in problem solving relating to purification systems in manufacturing, municipal, and geo-environmental environments. He has designed and supervised the construction of a number of unique purification concepts.
Expert provides consulting services in using natural bio-processes such as wetlands to purify sewage and solar distillation to provide potable water.He provides consulting services in the design and construction buildings and developments that are eco-friendly and uses natural energy processes to generate electricity and allow natural HVAC systems.He provides consulting services in geotechnical investigations and designs such as specialized foundations, reinforced earth structures, earth retaining structures, low impact footprint foundation and underground structure design in ecological and environmentally sensitive areas.He is a specialist on solar ponds used to generate heat for various industrial processes and thermodynamic engines. Expert is a project leader to establish various international bio-zones and nature conservancies such as wetlands, game reserves, and wildlife sanctuaries.
