An accomplished engineering executive, Paul Angelides has served as the president of his own Syosset, New York-based engineering firm Paul J. Angelides, PE, PC, since its inception in 1987. In this role, he oversees the firm’s daily operations, customer interactions, and maintaining quality control of professional work products produced by staff engineers. To augment his career, he holds membership with several engineering associations, including the National Academy of Forensic Engineers.
The study of property loss and injuries caused by failures in materials, components, construction, and designs is known as forensic engineering. These can range from simple occurrences like a crankshaft cracking to catastrophic events like a collapsed bridge. Understanding what went wrong or what component failed to perform as expected is the foundation for better design, dependable operation, and safer constructions.
In the prosecution and defense of civil and criminal claims, forensic investigations are critical for legal decision-making. Forensic engineering is used to determine the facts in instances where there are financial claims. Manufacturers, builders, insurance companies, and law firms get forensic engineering investigations’ findings in situations involving property damage, personal injury, economic loss, or death. Forensic evidence, together with the investigator’s testimony, may be submitted in a court of law, arbitration, and other crucial forums.
