Meet IES, Inc.

Dan VanLuchene, Ph.D., P.E.
Founding Partner

Dr. Dan has been a student-favorite teaching professor at Montana State University's Civil Engineering department for over 25 years and has done private consulting work on and off over that period.  In 1992 he initiated a research project to bring structural engineering software to rural Montana using a new-fangled system called Windows.  The result of that research became VisualAnalysis.  Dr. VanLuchene has expressed successful engineering solutions in computer-software in over a dozen different programming languages and systems and he brings deep engineering theory and expertise to IES.

 

Terrance (Terry) Kubat
Founding Partner

Terry was working on a Master's in Computer Science at Montana State University when he met Dr. VanLuchene in the late 1980's and joined the research project to build a Windows-based structural analysis program in 1992 while pursuing a Ph.D. in Structural Engineering.  The degree was put on hold, however, as IES, Inc. became a more attractive career path that melded engineering, software design, and business adventure.  Terry's main responsibilities include everything at IES, with a ton of guidance from his friends.

 

Jeff Lutzenberger, Ph.D.
Software Engineer

Few engineering mechanics experts are interested in software development or are as versatile as Jeff.  Hired in 2001 to develop a new plate element for the IES finite element engine, Jeff has continued to impress with his abilities to bring brilliant engineering features to practical applications in many diverse areas.  His work includes algorithms, graphics programming, finite element meshing, new product development, and technical support.

 

Garrett Baldensperger
Office Manager

Garrett is the "front office". He keeps it all working smoothly and efficiently. You get your orders delivered on time and he makes sure the IES bills get paid. Give him a call, he loves to ensure you have just the right products and license keys you need and when you need them!  Just don't call on Wednesdays in the winter, because he will be out doing snow research at Moonlight Basin Ski Resort.
