Based in Syosset, New York, Paul Angelides is the president of Paul J. Angelides, PE PC, an engineering firm. As a forensic specialist, Paul Angelides maintains membership with the National Academy of Forensic Engineers.

At its core, forensic engineering is the application of engineering principles and knowledge to address and investigate failures and performance problems, which can include catastrophic events such as building collapses but also more systematic issues, such as analyzing failures in the operations or machinery that aren’t performing to expected standards.

The National Academy of Forensic Engineers seeks to advance ethical and professional practices of forensic engineering and promote the development of forensic engineers through education and publication of technical literature. Additionally, the academy provides a professional society for engineers who offer testimony in the judicial system on findings of forensic engineering investigations.

Membership with the National Academy of Forensic Engineers is open to individuals who belong to the National Society of Professional Engineers and are registered professional engineers. Additionally, members must have appropriate levels of education and experience.
