Experience: StoneForged Background

• GRAD SCHOOL: Our Founder, Paul Fraser, graduated from UW-Madison with a Masters Degree in Mechanical Engineering. Link to Paul Fraser's 2008 Thesis.
• GRAD SCHOOL: Paul was funded by NREL to write software in Fortran/TRNSYS on solar Stirling dish systems for the System Advisor Model (SAM)
• INFINIA: Paul has 3 patents at Infinia (#8151568, #8869529, #8559197) for hardware design/software to reduce cost, improve reliability/efficiency, & optimize PID control of Stirling engine/mirror/fans/pumps
• INFINIA: Paul also created software to (1) predict/optimize system performance (2) automatically process data and flag incidents
• MODINE: Paul helped patent (#10317143) and created custom software to more rapidly solve heat exchanger designs with outputs that convinced many customers (Tesla, Cummins, Peterbilt, Caterpillar, Deere, etc) to go with Modine
• BRADLEY: Paul created a transient software model for point-of-use compact electric water heaters, and optimized the design to be more economical/reliable/compact
• STONEFORGED: Paul created stable and efficient methods for rapidly solving CFD/FEA and heat exchanger designs for 1D/2D/3D models
• STONEFORGED: Paul and others are working to continually improve and expand their solver capabilities to provide customers with an engineering solving suite
