Dr. Claude Gosselin

has been involved in gear design and analysis for more than 40 years. He began as a gearbox designer at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft in Montreal, Canada; after completing his Ph.D., he taught Mechanical Engineering at Laval University, Quebec, Canada, as a full professor for some 20 years. As a consequence of his specialty in spiral bevel gears, Dr. Gosselin created the HyGEARS software, first introduced in Japan in 1994. HyGEARS offers to gear manufacturers an independent solution for gear design, analysis and manufacturing on conventional and CNC machines. He is now dedicated full time to the development and support of HyGEARS, which is used by 60-plus customers in some 12 countries.
