Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Weber is a Principal Engineer with nine years of experience applying mechanical engineering rigor to composites, materials testing, instrumentation, controls, and finite element analysis. He holds a PhD from the University of Auckland where his research probed fluid-structure interactions and the role of curvature in composite sandwich panels under water impact—insights he now applies to ballistic protection and low-velocity impact attenuation. Based in Pennsylvania and leading engineering work at Gentex since 2017, he bridges academic research and product-focused development to solve real-world protective-materials challenges. Not obvious from titles alone, he combines hands-on testing and instrumentation know‑how with advanced FEA to iterate rapidly from hypothesis to validated design.
