Dr. Paul Tinari Ph.D., P.Eng.
As a first year student at Queens University in Engineering Physics, Dr. Tinari entered and won first place in a competition to design a self-sustaining family habitation organized by the Professional Engineers of Ontario. Most of the other entries were submitted by professional engineering design firms. His project was recognized because he designed a highly energy-efficient home that could withstand hurricanes, tornados and earthquakes that could be built for 80% to 90% lower cost than a traditional structure with a similar size.
While studying engineering at Queen’s University, he spent a term at Oxford University as an exchange student and was exposed to several areas of high technology such as high energy laser physics (DARPA), nuclear physics (Sub-Critical Reactor Project), fusion research (JET Project) and alternate energy technologies. After graduation with his B.Sc. in Engineering Physics, he worked as a consultant for many high profile organizations around the world. For example, he was appointed to be the head of the Alternate Energy Department at the National Energy Institute in Ecuador, a post that he occupied for more than one year.
He later completed his Master’s in Alternate Energy Engineering at Queens University and then moved on to Belgium to attend the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics, where he received his Ph.D. in Low Gravity Fluid Dynamics and Lymphatic Flows on a NASA & US Air Force Scholarship.
He worked on various projects funded by the NASA and the Pentagon. He helped design the heat transportation system used to cool the International Space Station (ISS). His innovative research came to attention of the general in charge of Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) and he was assigned a number of research projects related to the development of Hypersonic aircraft & missiles for the US Air Force. He was also invited to become a technical consultant to the Joint Chiefs during the Reagan Administration.
After graduation, Dr. Tinari was regularly invited to the Naval War College in Providence, Rhode Island to give presentations to senior officers about innovative ideas for the defence of aircraft carrier battle groups. He developed a system to protect aircraft carriers from swarm attacks by hypersonic drones. His numerous accomplishments include the organization of the first Canadian Earth Day, being nominated for a Nobel Prize in Physics by the Soviet Academy of Science, being a finalist in the Canadian astronaut selection process and consulting with senior administrators at NASA on the new technologies that would impact its future business model.
He has also worked with the US military to implement the next generation of 3D printing technologies. He has developed a patented, light-weight; cable-based 3D machine system that will be capable to build homes and structures in a fraction of the time and cost compared to traditional construction methods. However, his newest patent(s) reflect his desire to upgrade a functioning cable-based 3D printing technology with the use of DRONE technology that will simplify the process even more, in hopes for a simpler and more portable 3D housing system to be the first of its kind in North America.
He currently lives in Port Moody British Columbia, Canada and he continues to inspire new technologies.
