DWGreve Consulting

DWGreve Consulting provides consulting services in acoustics and electrical engineering. Before founding DWGreve Consulting, I was a professor of electrical and computer engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. I worked there from 1990 to 2016 and during this time, I had courtesy appointments in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering as well as the Department of Physics. Upon leaving, I became an emeritus professor of electrical and computer engineering. I have also been a resident institute fellow at the Institute for Advanced Energy Systems, National Energy Technology Laboratory.

I currently provide consulting services through DWGreve Consulting, which is located in Sedona, Arizona. To help my clients solve their problems, I use my experience with modeling in the COMSOL Multiphysics^®software, which I have been working with since 2000. You can find examples of my previous uses of COMSOL Multiphysics^®in research, publications, and presentations atwww.dwgreveconsulting.com.

Areas of Expertise

I have expertise in the following areas:

• Ultrasonic transducers and wave propagation
• Ultrasonics for structural health monitoring
• Near-field inductive coupling
• Antennas and microwave transitions
• Electrostatically and piezoelectrically activated MEMS devices
• AC/DC modeling, including coupling to heat transfer

Featured COMSOL Multiphysics^®Projects

Here are two examples of simulation projects that have been presented at the COMSOL Conference:

• Microwave Launcher Design for Doppler Sensing in Chemical Looping Combustion
• Multiphysics Simulation of the Effect of Sensing and Spacer Layers on SAW Velocity

Available Services

I offer consulting services to clients who need ongoing modeling assistance, have projects with specific goals, or are interested in building customized COMSOL^®apps for their engineering personnel to use. Additionally, I provide training on how to use the COMSOL Multiphysics^®simulation software.
