Mark Barbet is a management consultant at Sage Analysis Group with eight years of experience bridging advanced research and applied engineering in energy and aerospace domains. He holds a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Columbia and has a track record of accelerating chemical kinetics research through automated Bayesian experiments and custom Python tooling that revealed major model errors and redirected research priorities. His background spans hands-on experimental work—designing reactors and measuring low-temperature combustion pathways—to developing materials and avionics modeling software at Rolls-Royce and Boeing. Mark founded and grew a university liquid propulsion team, leading the first student-built liquid rocket engine at his school, which demonstrates his ability to translate vision into disciplined, cross-functional execution. Based in Washington, DC, he combines deep quantitative rigor with practical productization of research insights to help organizations make faster, evidence-based decisions. A less obvious strength is his history of improving experimental and manufacturing reliability—from LIGO components to chemical reactor measurements—showing consistent impact on both theory and real-world systems.
