Dr. Jaton N. Wince is a Ph.D.-level forensic mechanical engineer, inventor, and founder/President of SCIENALYSIS, Inc. He specializes in pre-litigation technical consulting, failure mechanism identification, and engineering causation analysis for high-consequence incidents where liability turns on physics, standards, and disciplined discrimination among competing theories. He is routinely engaged early—before filing or early in discovery—to assess case viability, causation strength, and technical risk, and to determine whether a matter should proceed, settle, or be re-scoped. When appropriate, he also serves as a testifying expert. Primary forensic domains include gas and fuel explosions, fire-related mechanical and thermal failures, structural and component collapses, industrial and consumer product failures, heavy equipment and machinery incidents, transportation and occupational accidents, catastrophic personal-injury biomechanics, and aerospace/defense system events.
