`
`Dr. Joshua W. Phinney is a Principal Engineer in Exponent’s Electrical Engineering and
`Computer Science practice. Dr. Phinney’s background is in electrical and electronic
`engineering, particularly related to power electronics, electromagnetics, and electromechanics.
`His specialties include power supplies, radio-frequency electronics, control systems, printed
`circuits, integrated-circuit packaging, magnetics design, and power transmission and
`distribution. He has related experience in embedded software, acoustics, and numerical
`methods for optimization and simulation.
`
`At Exponent, Dr. Phinney has assisted clients with identifying the root cause of failures in
`mobile electronic devices, industrial and automotive controllers, capacitors, transformers,
`amplifiers, and power supplies. He has testified in patent and trade secret litigation regarding
`computer hardware and software, audio circuitry, mobile telephones, tablets, power supplies,
`control systems, hard disk drives, and electronic instruments. In addition, Dr. Phinney has
`assisted clients with electromagnetic assessment issues pertaining to utility and communication
`infrastructure. These issues include permitting, interference, and environmental impact of radar,
`AC and HVDC transmission lines, substations, photovoltaic installations, generators, broadcast
`antennas, and electrified mass transit systems. In addition, Dr. Phinney has written software for
`data classification and machine learning in radar-return and other image-analysis applications.
`
`Dr. Phinney received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of
`Technology. His doctoral work centered on miniaturization of power converters and
`electromechanical power conversion. He has related experience in radio-frequency electronics
`(particularly phase-locked loops and RF amplifiers), network synthesis, system identification,
`and control. Dr. Phinney is the co-inventor on patents for improving the performance of
`capacitors, EMI filters, and common-mode chokes.
