Trent Parker, PhD
Associate Consultant
Trent is a chemical engineering professional with a particular emphasis on process safety. He has experience working on projects related to chemical engineering, process design, process safety, human factors, thermal hazard analysis, and runaway reactions. These include investigating refinery incidents as well as conducting safety analyses of chemical engineering laboratories.
He has worked to collect data on worker interactions with procedures and used the information obtained to develop a writer’s guide for operating procedures within industrial facilities. Additionally, he has investigated fire hazards associated with lead acid batteries.
Trent has a background in reaction calorimetry and dispersion modeling, with experience identifying optimal operating regions for chemical reactions and performing dispersion modeling to identify potential hazards associated with incompatible chemicals being combined.
Trent is an Engineering Intern (EI) and has received the Graduate Process Safety Certificate from the Mary Kay O’Connor Process Safety Center at Texas A&M University.
