Mr. Van Herle is a registered professional engineer. He has a wide array of experience in fire & explosion, product defect, accident investigation and failure analysis. His engineering career started in 1992 within the automotive industry conducting power supply and charging component thermal analysis, temperature, environmental & mechanical wear testing for the General Motors EV-1 electric car project. His career design and testing experience includes the areas of electromagnetic, electrical power systems, control systems and machine design of products. Mr. Van Herle has a wide range of computer simulation expertise in the areas of thermal heat transfer analysis, fire modeling, accident reconstruction and multi-physics Finite Element Analysis for stress, fluid flow and heat transfer.

Since the year 2000 while working as a forensic engineering expert witness he has conducted several thousand fire & explosion, product defect and accident related case investigations. He has testified over 30 times in deposition and trial and has drafted several Federal trial reports. He has been involved with several Consumer Product Safety Commission product recall investigations. He holds two U.S. patents for products which he designed, prototyped and personally prepared and filed the patent documents.

Dr. Anderson is the founder of AME and a co-owner of the company.

Dr. Anderson has long specialized in the characterization of surfaces, interfaces, thin films, and coatings. He began applying surface analysis techniques to the solution of materials problems in 1972. He has had a wealth of experience with surface chemical phase identifications, corrosion, battery development, adhesive failures, contamination, electronic packaging, thin film and bulk materials composition, composite interfaces, particle and sintered ceramic surfaces, surface oxidation and degradation, and many other applications of surface analysis.

He has served as an officer of the ASTM Committee E-42 on Surface Analysis and as a U.S. Expert on several subcommittees of the ISO Technical Committee 201 on Surface Chemical Analysis. He worked for Case Western Reserve University as a post-doctoral fellow, the Dept. of the Navy as a research physicist, and Martin Marietta and Lockheed Martin as a senior scientist before founding AME, Inc. in 1995.

Dr. Anderson especially enjoys integrating the results of multiple analytic techniques to solve tough materials problems. He has assembled a team of materials scientists and engineers with complementary skills and experience who all enjoy working together to solve challenging problems.

He is or has been a member of AVS, ASM, MRS, ASTM, the Electrochemical Society, ACS, APS, and SAMPE. He constantly migrates across the boundaries of physics, chemistry, biology, and the engineering disciplines to solve real-world materials problems.

Welcome to Biodeterioration Control Associates’ (BCA’s) website. I founded BCA in 1992 in order to provide my clients with unparalleled consulting expertise in microbial contamination control. Each year, microbes cause billions of dollars damage to industrial systems. BCA’s primary mission is to educate our clients so that they can recognize the symptoms of microbial attack (biodeterioration) and take timely, effective action to minimize that impact. BCA networks with other service companies, diagnostic test kit manufacturers, testing laboratories and chemical suppliers in order to bring a broad range of microbial contamination control products and services to our clients.
