Dr. Paul Zarda Specializes in Knowledge Based Engineering and Mechanical Computer Aided Engineering

Dr. Paul Zarda is an experienced mechanical engineer with both theoretical and practical expertise in Mechanical Computer Aided Engineering (MCAE) and Knowledge Based Engineering (KBE). He has chaired a Mechanical Design benchmarking team at the local and corporate level. Dr. Zarda was chosen from among 80 engineers spanning 25 contractors as Chairman of the Guidance Team, on DARPA’s MADE and RaDEO program in Knowledge-based Engineering for which he was Program Manager. The Director of DARPA awarded the team for their significant contribution in the KBE methodology.

Currently, Dr. Paul Zarda is serving as a Distinguished Member, Technical Staff, and Manager of the Engineering Methods Group at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control. Dr. Paul Zarda has also worked as an Adjunct Professor, Research Professor of Mechanical Engineering in Department of Mechanical, Materials & Aerospace Engineering at University of Central Florida.

Despite a busy professional life, Dr. Paul Zarda makes time for his family that includes his wife Adrienne, three children and seven grandchildren. He also likes to play tennis and spend time in the design and analysis of tennis racquets. He has association with 13,000 “alligator friends” at his home on Orlando’s Lake Jesup, Florida’s “highest density of gators” lake.

Dr. Paul Zarda Has Gained Worldwide Recognition for His Invention of “Zarda Top Spin Racquet”

Dr. Paul Zarda is an Orlando based highly qualified professional having many years of experience as a Mechanical Engineer. He holds immense expertise in the areas of MCAE (Mechanical Computer Aided Engineering), and (Knowledge Based Engineering) KBE. He has completed his PhD in Engineering Mechanics from Columbia University in Bio-mechanics & Bio-engineering. He is also the inventor of a tennis racquet called “Zarda-Top-Spin-Racquet” or the Z-TSR. He designed it in such a way that it is able to provide top spin to the ball by using a unique design in compared to the spaghetti racquet as well as other racquets available in the market.

Dr. Paul Zarda’s racquet has an inner frame which contains strings under tension that make contact with the ball. The outer and inner frames are connected through an isolation system that allows the movement of inner frame relative to the outer frame upon the impact of ball. Additional spin is generated by the in-plane motion of the inner relative to outer frame. The spin generated is significantly more than that of a traditional racquet.

The Z-TSR has the ability to modify the isolation system in order to affect the play of the racquet. You can replace, adjust, or supplement the isolated system before any on-court play.
