His industry experience encom- passes weld applications, quality control programs, shop supervision, and weld program implementation and maintenance. He is an expert in weld processes and adhering to ASME, AWS, and NAVSEA standards and codes, as well as an AWS Certified Welding Inspector and Certified Welding Educator. He recently established All Welding Services, a consulting company for weld shops and weld code programs, working with companies around the world. Brad Dulin is a senior metrologist and has worked in the research and development in aero- space, biomedical, and other technical fields for more than 30 years. He has collaborated with such technological giants as Hughes Helicopters and Space and Communications divisions, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and Raytheon, as well as technology companies worldwide. He has served as a metrology consultant with BAE for the Kuwait Air Force and, most recently, as operations manager for the Kuwait Green Energy Company. He currently lives in Kuwait and is collaborating on the development of advanced hydrogen/solar-based alternative energy solutions. Arief Era is a graduate of Columbia University, where he received his master’s degree in mechanical engineering. As a structural analysis engineer, he worked on various commer- cial aircrafts for the Boeing Company. At Consolidated Edison of New York in the Gas Engi- neering department, he has developed fittings, valves, and piping systems for gas delivery while performing root cause analysis for field failures. More recently, he has led the Maps and Records Team for the gas delivery infrastructure of Manhattan. His experience and extensive work on developing, refining, and working with industry standard and related tech - nical information has been crucial to the current edition of the Handbook. Charles Gillis has over 24 years of machine design experience. He received his bachelor of science degree from Worcester Polytechnic Institute and a master’s degree in mechanical engineering from Northeastern University. Currently serving as a mechanical design engi- neer for the Gillette Company, designing automated machinery for manufacturing blade and razor products, he has been training practicing engineers in geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, print reading, and related mechanical analysis, design, and documentation topics for the last decade. A licensed Professional Engineer in Massachusetts, he holds a Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing Professional Certificate– Senior Level (GDTP- S) from ASME. In addition to authoring the bestselling Hammer’s Blueprint Reading Basics, 4th Edition, he also contributed to the Industrial Press titles Machine Designers Reference and The CAM Design and Manufacturing Handbook . Edmund Isakov earned his Ph.D. in technical sciences at the Novocherkassk Polytechnic Institute (Soviet Union). He is known for his work in research, development and applications of cutting tools for milling, turning, and boring. During nearly two decades at Kennametal, he became a noted authority on the technical analysis of cutting tools and processes. He holds 7 U.S. patents and 10 U.S.S.R Inventor’s Certificates pertaining to carbide and diamond
