Winston Chase Walker
Mechanical Engineer | Computational Simulation Specialist | AR/VR Innovator
Chase is a mechanical engineer with over 10 years of experience in engineering design, specializing in computational simulation and the integration of emerging technologies like extended reality (XR). At Astec Industries, he has spent the last five years applying advanced computational techniques to simulate the performance of industrial equipment, helping to optimize product design, validate performance, and predict real-world behavior before physical prototypes are built. This work includes computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and discrete element method (DEM) simulations, all aimed at improving efficiency, reducing costs, and enhancing product reliability.
Over the past four years, Chase has expanded his focus to XR, developing innovative workflows for 3D content management and immersive experiences. These solutions have been implemented to support engineering design, internal training, and customer-facing applications. By leveraging XR technology, he has spearheaded the creation of interactive programs that allow internal teams and customers to engage with complex machinery and systems in dynamic, digital environments.
With a passion for bridging traditional engineering practices with cutting-edge technologies, Chase is committed to driving the future of design and training through the seamless integration of computational simulation and immersive digital tools.
