Trent Parker, PhD
Senior Associate Consultant
Trent is a chemical engineering and process safety professional with knowledge of fire protection, exposure assessments, and human factors. He has experience working on projects related to chemical engineering, process design, process safety, human factors, thermal hazard analysis, facility siting, dust hazard analysis, and heat stress analysis. These include investigating refinery incidents as well as conducting safety analyses for a variety of industrial facilities.
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 a variety of materials including lead acid batteries.
Trent has a research 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.
