Dr. Reagle is a licensed professional mechanical engineer who specializes in performing failure analysis and providing design support for problems involving thermal fluid flows and sustainable energy systems. At Exponent, he has contributed to projects involving flammability testing and thermal evaluation of consumer products, design evaluation of gas burning appliances, fire investigation for vegetation, structure and vehicle fires, testing of respirators for filtration efficiency, and assessing safety and fire risk in roll on-roll off cargo operations. Dr. Reagle is an expert in using IR thermography to understand complex ignition and heat transfer problems.
Prior to joining Exponent, Dr. Reagle was an associate professor of Mechanical Engineering at George Mason University. As the first faculty hire for the program, he helped build the program through teaching and service. He has held a variety of temporary academic and industrial research positions focused on propulsion, power, and energy. His graduate research applied his expertise to heat transfer and aerodynamic characterization of turbomachinery hardware at transonic speeds and particulate laden flows at high temperatures.
