Richard Campbell is a Bechtel Fellow with Bechtel Corporation’s Construction Welding and NDE group. He is an AWS SCWI, a CWB Level 2 Welding Inspector, and an ASNT NDT Level III Visual Testing Inspector. With a BS degree in Welding Engineering from LeTourneau University and a PhD in Materials Engineering from RPI, he has worked for more than 40 years in the welding industry, including construction, structures, pressure vessels, piping systems, and government projects. For 9 years he was chair of the AWS D1K Subcommittee on Stainless Steel Welding, responsible for publication of the AWS D1.6:2017 Structural Welding Code – Stainless Steel. He is also a member of the AWS D1 Committee on Structural Welding, the D1H Subcommittee on Sheet Steel, the AWS A2 Committee on Definitions and Symbols, and the AWS A2C Subcommittee on Symbols. Rich is vice chair of the ASME B31.3 Process Piping Code section committee, and member of numerous other ASME and AWS codes and standards committees, including Section IX’s subgroup on Qualification.

He has taught AWS CWI classes for over 25 years and has presented several seminars on welding codes, stainless steel welding, and welding symbols for AWS. Dr. Campbell is author of over 30 technical articles on welding or metallurgy. As an expert in stainless steel welding, he authored AWS’s The Professional’s Advisor on Welding of Stainless Steels, has penned several Just the Facts articles and a series of articles on welding symbols in the quarterly AWS publication Inspection Trends.

Dr. Joshua Jackson is a serial entrepreneur who is the CEO of US Corrosion Services LLC and Metallum Technologies. He is a professional engineer in the State of Texas who specializes in corrosion analysis and prevention. He holds BS degrees in math and physics from MIT, and MS and PhD degrees from the Colorado School of Mines in Metallurgical Engineering. As a metallurgical engineer, he works on all sides of welding from procedure development to failure analysis.

Upon completion of his Bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from the University of Louisiana-Lafayette, Jared’s primary work focused on mitigating internal corrosion of wet gas gathering pipeline systems. His work regarding the successful mitigation of microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) of one of the largest gathering systems in the Barnett Shale became the topic of his Master’s dissertation, which he presented to the University of Manchester for graduation in corrosion control engineering in 2015. His work offshore in the Gulf of Mexico provided him exposure to various integrity-related opportunities ranging from NDT inspections to deepwater chemical delivery and materials selection. It was in the Gulf of Mexico where he became familiar with flow-induced preferential weld corrosion of process piping in the presence of CO2 and acetic acid.

Edward Peterson is both the Welding Engineer and Manager of Quality Control and R&D for Laser Welding Solutions, LLC. He is a degreed welding engineer with a B.S. from LeTourneau University and is an AWS Certified Welding Inspector (CWI). After graduating he spent two years in a rotation program with FMC Technologies/TechnipFMC where he setup an in-house weld shop, spent time in their global R&D lab, and worked with supplier quality before joining Laser Welding Solutions in 2018.
