Robert Schreck V Email and Phone Number

• Established a foundational thermodynamic cycle for a novel gas turbine bleed air APU system through the development and use of in-house computational tools in Python and Excel, spearheading the development of a new product line and creating 6+ quantifiable goals to guide prototype production• Managed a team of 2-3 engineers in the development of 6 unique virtual testing environments forcompressor and turbine models within SolidWorks and SolidWorks Flow Simulation, leading to thesuccessful creation of 10+ digital compressor and turbine maps• Delivered an interactive Python data analysis program for compressor and turbine simulation data thatpredicted 20+ lines of operation for all stages of the cycle and cleared the APU for hot-fire testing• Developed 6+ custom turbine engine components to contain and optimize the high-pressure stage,providing a 10% boost in compressor pressure ratios and 5% increase in turbine efficiency• Produced 6+ SolidWorks drawings of custom components with GD&T, leading to the formation of 3+ new relationships with manufacturers and preparation of 6+ designs for prototype production

• Designed and implemented optimal lab procedures and facilitated lab training workshops for a team of 5graduate teaching assistants, yielding a satisfaction rating of 4.8/5 within in a course of 100+ students

• Spearheaded a research project analyzing wood combustion kinetics to explore the reduction of pollutantemissions from jet engines, resulting in a conference paper (AIChE) and journal publication (ChemComm)

• Facilitated the intellectual, social, and cultural development of a community of 58-72 graduate studentsthrough 25+ individually planned annual initiatives and events with up to 90% resident engagement• Collaborated with 15 other Resident Assistants on 8 annual community-wide engagements focused ondiversity, equity, and inclusion, with 150+ residents in attendance at each event

• Instructed 35-40 students in fundamental concepts of aerospace engineering and guided them through a series of labs relating to thermodynamics, aerodynamics, structural dynamics, and system control
