Sean Teller, PhD

Bio:

Dr. Sean Teller is a Principal Engineer at Veryst Engineering, a technical consulting firm in the Boston area. Dr. Teller has extensive experience in testing and modeling the mechanical behavior of materials to help clients improve product performance, understand failure modes, and manufacture robust, high-performing devices.  He consults in medical devices and technology, combination products, consumer products, automotive, and consumer electronics industries, and applies his knowledge of polymer material behavior and failure to help clients solve their R&D and design problems. 

Dr. Teller’s consulting focuses on polymer material testing, material modeling for finite element (FE) simulations and failure analysis. He has extensive experience in advanced FE modeling, and often solves problems involving sealing and leakage, ageing and degradation of materials, design verification studies of engineered systems, verification and validation studies, and manufacturing and assembly of medical devices and combination products. Dr. Teller earned his Ph.D. in Solid Mechanics from Brown University, where he worked on a project to characterize the high-frequency mechanical behavior of soft tissues for tissue engineering applications.
