Dr. Rudolf Kyselica

Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering, Advanced Micro- and Nanosystems Laboratory - focus on dynamics, micro- & nano-technology Research Project: - Electrodynamic focusing/steering of electrospun polymer nanofibers Teaching: - Fabrication Techniques for Micro-and Nanodevices (MEMS device development and clean-room fabrication) - Mechatronics - Matlab - State Space Control

• Led a small team of engineers improving performance, quality, reliability, and cost of structural components of hermetically sealed compressors and their production processes. • Monitored status of projects assigned to the product development engineering team • Attended regular global (international) product development and quality meetings

• Led and coordinated small and mid-size projects (under 100 000 EUR) through all PDP phases • Participated as member of a 5-member steering committee in project selection and prioritization based on cost- benefit analysis • Collaborated, locally and internationally, across functions including: production, quality, procurement, supply chain and sales in a fast-paced environment.

• Conducted material and mechanical optimization of mechanical parts of compressors • Performed dFMEA, risk analysis, CAD part and assembly drawing generation and prototyping • Worked with external suppliers and vendors for rapid prototype delivery and cost-effective solutions

-simulations of sudden dynamic processes(crash/impact analysis) on automotive parts and mechanisms -Strength and wear calculations on automotive seats mechanisms

• Performed thermal-structural FEA analysis (Ansys APDL) and laboratory testing of composite electromotor frames • Developed a high AC voltage universal switch to minimize power loss and balance the power delivery system. • Developed an automated notification system in Matlab - minimizing maintenance team response time.
