Executive Summary of T. Alexander’s Major Accomplishments

He has worked as an engineer in Greece, England, Scotland and the USA. Over the past 40 years he has emigrated twice to the UK and twice to the USA.

He entered the USA as an international student with very limited financial resources in 1981,and was awarded four graduate degrees from MIT (1982-1987).

During a market downturn in 1992 he was the only international MIT student in Marine/Naval Engineering to secure employment with a US corporation (consultants to the US Navy).

He considers it a very significant life event that he took the US citizenship oath in 1989.

He has worked in power and propulsion system projects at McDonnell Douglas, Boeing, and several smaller US corporations.

He has served as faculty in four top-tier universities in the UK (Russell Group) and the USA.

He has authored over 150 papers, over 100 of them in printed archival scientific journals; aturbomachinery design textbook; and three patents in biomedical devices. Scopus H-index 20; Google Scholar H-index 26.

He relates to challenges faced by engineering faculty in diverse fields. His personal research and journal papers are in several theoretical, numerical and experimental topics in diverse STEM research fields: marine, mechanical design, aerodynamics, energy resources, sustainable fuels, piston engines and turbomachines, novel powerplants, chemical and materials engineering, biomedical engineering, motor design in electrical engineering. The connecting thread is contributions to understanding of unsteady transport processes.

He has secured as PI research funding from federal, state and industry sources in both the UK and the USA. He has also spearheaded the formation of successful interdisciplinary research teams in fields outside his areas of expertise to be led by other colleagues as PIs.

He has personal experience in spin out and commercialization activities

He held what is considered a famous endowed chair in thermodynamics in the world, the James Watt Chair at the University of Glasgow, Scotland

He has a decade of experience serving as chair and as dean of engineering He served as Chair of Energy Engineering at Queen Mary, University of London (QMUL), from

2006 until 2012, where he guided growth in research outputs to top 50-100 in the world in the QS World University Rankings by Subject.

In 2008-10 he spearheaded development of the most successful Sustainable Energy SM program (at that time) in the UK with very limited addition of resources.

He has hired and mentored engineering faculty across ranks and through ranks, from entry level to full professorships; and has mentored and supervised two generations of graduate students, many of them of diverse backgrounds, in four universities.

He has been recognized as innovator of the year in 2008 and 2009 by the UK NHS system.

While he served as Dean of Parks College at Saint Louis University his appointed teams led transition of the college from teaching to research-inspired excellence in education. The transition is manifested by increases in several measures of research and educational performance, for instance with replacing 35% of the college faculty with research-active academics over 3 years, with 74% increase in graduate program enrollments, and multi-fold increases in publications and proposals written. Concurrently the teamwork enabled continued increase in undergraduate enrollments and improvements in student profile while overall university enrollment was declining.

At Parks College his teams increased revenue by philanthropy and gifts by 74% in three years

At Parks College he secured international exchange programs with top Chinese Universities (Xi’an Jiaotong, Beihang, Nanjing, Harbin) and with UK and Indian Universities

Biographical Summary of THEODOSIOS ALEXANDER (a.k.a. T. KORAKIANITIS)

Theodosios Korakianitis changed his legal name to Theodosios Alexander the summer of 2001 becausemost people struggle to pronounce his family name. He continues publishing as T. Korakianitis and isinternationally known in academic circles by both names.

He has been educated in England and the U.S.A. He was awarded a First Class Honours Bachelor ofScience degree in Marine Engineering from the University of Newcastle Upon Tyne, England. This wasfollowed by three Master of Science degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology: in NavalArchitecture and Marine Engineering; in Ocean Systems Management; and in Mechanical Engineering.Then he received his doctorate in Mechanical Engineering, also awarded by the Massachusetts Instituteof Technology.

From 1988 to 2001 he was on the faculty of the Mechanical Engineering Department at Washing-ton University in St. Louis, Missouri, USA. From 2001 to 2005 he was the James Watt Professor ofMechanical Engineering at the University of Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom. In 2006 he acceptedthe Chair of Energy Engineering at Queen Mary, University of London, England. In September 2012 bebecame the Dean of Saint Louis University’s Parks College of Engineering, Aviation and Technology.

Since he was hired as dean in September 2012, Parks College has achieved the following: increasedundergraduate enrollments by 12%; increased graduate enrollment by 74%; (student to full-time tenuredor tenure-track faculty ratio 26:1; student to full-time equivalent faculty 23.5:1); maintained freshmanretention rate between 89 and 92%; concurrently increased the average ACT scores of incoming freshmenfrom 27.8 to 29.1; recruited 3 new department chairs and 12 new full-time faculty (now every tenuredor tenure-track faculty is research active); increased cash donations by 76%; and increased researchproductivity multifold (for instance from 0.3 journal papers per FTE per year to over 2.0 journal papers perFTE per year, and increased research expenditures and proposals written). After extensive consultationswith all of our constituents, the spring of 2015 the Parks Faculty Assembly voted and adopted the first5-year Strategic Plan in the recent history of the College (going back at least 35 years). This is a dynamicplan that includes goals, objectives, actions and measures, aimed to be included in the deliberations for theUniversity’s strategic plan and bicentennial 2018 campaign. The above were accomplished by naturally-occurring retirements and without changing the total number of faculty, while concurrently nurturingalumni relations with the College and University. Following this success stemming from targeted areasof research strength, he has been asked to use analogous strategies across colleges and academic units,for university-wide activities, in order to facilitate long-term increases in research outputs and revenue.

He has received innovation awards for his research, which concentrates in thermal/fluid sciences andapplications on the design of power and propulsion systems, energy conversion systems, renewable energy,and heart-assist pumps, with emphasis on unsteady and transient transport phenomena.

Earlier in his career he worked for Hellenic Shipyards, for U.S. Navy Consultants John J. McMullenAssociates in Washington D.C., for Northern Research and Engineering Corporation in Woburn, Mas-sachusetts, for McDonnell Douglas Corp. and for The Boeing Company in St. Louis on propulsion-systemstudies, and on several international collaborative activities.

DIRECTOR, INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH COLLABORATIONS, Jul 2015 -

THE POSITION: Responsible for identifying and promoting pathways to increase research activities and

revenue via university-wide, regional, national and international research collaborations. Having set ParksCollege on a path of stable and sustainable growth stemming from targeted areas of research strengths, I

have been asked to use analogous strategies across colleges and units for university-wide activities, in orderfacilitate increases in research activities, outputs and revenue.

THE CHALLENGE: Availability of federal research funding is steadily declining since FY2009, and

competition among increasing numbers of research-active academics is intensifying. Many universities,including Saint Louis University over the past decade, have experienced decreases in annual research

revenue and annual research expenditures. Availability of research funding has shifted from individualinvestigator activity to integrated larger teams tackling big challenges in health, environment, energy,

security etc. Therefore there is a pressing need to re-cast traditional academic-research roles with theformation of inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary research teams from STEM, Medicine and Healthcare,

Humanities, Social Sciences and Arts Colleges. This new role relies on my record of using dialogue andteamwork to identify strategically-chosen successful research collaborations and programs outside my ownarea of expertise, and ability to to create teams that can secure funding for these research programs.

DEAN, PARKS COLLEGE, SAINT LOUIS UNIVERSITY, Sep 2012 - Jun 2015

THE POSITION: Parks College was founded in 1927 by Oliver L. Parks, an aviation pioneer andentrepreneur, as America’s first federally-certified school to train pilots. The College was awarded Air

Agency Certificate No. 1, a historic distinction maintained to today. Mr. Parks donated the Collegeto Saint Louis University in 1946. In addition to the aviation activities, the University had a separate

Institute of Technology from 1944 until 1970-71, which had offered several engineering programs. Overthe years the College diversified to a broad range of undergraduate engineering programs in addition to

the aviation programs, offered by five departments: aerospace and mechanical engineering; biomedicalengineering; civil engineering; electrical and computer engineering; and aviation. MS and PhD programsin Engineering and Aviation were added in 2009. Traditionally College and University finances were

dominated by enrollment considerations. I was hired the fall of 2012 to manage academic, administrative,financial and operation matters at Parks College, including our Downtown St. Louis Airport facilities

and operations, with particular emphasis on expanding the role of engineering and aviation activities in:delivering our mission-driven research-inspired quality education; inter-disciplinary STEM activities; and

in guiding development of entrepreneurial and industry-relevant programs.

THE CHALLENGE: Strengthen academic programs and promote research-inspired education; accreditnew undergraduate programs; overcome the challenge of limited resources; improve alumni relations, and

set the College on a trajectory of continuous improvement and sustainable excellence. I made key admin-istrative decisions, and guided and encouraged our teams into collaborative efforts, which achieved thefollowing. (A summary of the following items appears in later section “Other Academic Activities”.)

• 2012-2105, Decisive appointments and successful faculty recruiting:

- Appointed carefully-selected and widely-respected faculty search committees- Recruited replacements for 3 department chairs and 12 new faculty

- (6 of them female, and most new hires are considered diversity candidates)- All the new hires are in targeted areas of research expertise and academic program strengths

- This regeneration of faculty positions was achieved by natural attrition of faculty- The new hires represent a change of about 35% of the College faculty- Most tenured or tenure track faculty are now research active, enabling the following improvements

- Appointed a growth-oriented Director of Graduate Programs- Reallocated some resources enabling us to aggressively increase College graduate enrollments

- We secured female graduate assistantships from the Clare Boothe Luce Foundation- We explored new opportunities in high-quality educational and research programs

• In addition, we hired three world renowned adjunct distinguished professors to promote researchcollaboration with our entry-level faculty and new graduate students:

– Professor Paul Paris as (adjunct) Distinguished Professor of Mechanics. (He is a worldwideauthority in the field and credited with Paris’ Law of crack propagation).

– Professor David Peters as (adjunct) Distinguished Professor of Aeroelasticity. (He is a world-

wide authority in helicopter rotor dynamics and aeroacoustics).



– Professor Phil Gould as (adjunct) Distinguished Professor of Structures. (He is a worldwideauthority in Civil Engineering Structures).

• Identification and promotion of distinguishing features of the College:- Many Colleges advertise small classes, direct student involvement with research-active faculty etc.

- We practice this, but also considered we needed additional differentiation from the competition- What is unique about Parks College is the entrepreneurial DNA of the faculty and students- (In earlier days the College designed, built, flew, maintained planes; and operated Parks Airlines)

- We secured a KEEN foundation grant to instill the entrepreneurial mindset in our programs- We collaborated with our Business School, which is also highly ranked for entrepreneurship

- Our faculty developed a respected portfolio of engineering programs coupled with entrepreneurship- Combining all our characteristics, we inspired students, parents and alumni to invest in our College

- We identified opportunities in UAV, medical product entrepreneurship, and autonomous systems- We are one of the first 19 Colleges to join the Grand Challenge Scholars Program of the NAE

- The above were natural outcomes of the inherent existing strengths within the College

• 2012-2015, Enhancement of international exchange programs and relations:

- Through research networking we secured commitments for exchange programs with top Universities- In Thermofluids with Xi’an Jiaotong University

- In Aerodynamics and Mechanical Engineering with Beihang and Nanjing Universities- In Power and Propulsion with Harbin University- With Cranfield University in the UK for research collaboration

- Working with VP Enrollment: we expanded engineering pathways in our ESL programs; and- we secured a pipeline of pre-qualified overseas students into select undergraduate engineering

programs (UK based INTO program)

• 2012-2015, Promoted and increased diversity:

- We had considerable success in hiring faculty of diverse background as mentioned above- The College female to male student ratio approached 35/65, and 50/50 in biomedical engineering

- We articulated a joined 2+3 dual degree in Mathematics and Engineering with Harris Stowe StateCollege (a neighboring HBCU)

- I mentored students in the formation of the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) chapter- In its inaugural year I helped our NSBE chapter raise funds to attend the national NSBE convention

- I currently serve as the faculty advisor to the student chapter of NSBE- I supported other diversity and service groups such as Women In Aviation (WIA), Engineers

Without Borders (EWB), and several service-oriented projects with our students

• Sample 2012-2015 measurable outcomes are the following:

1. Increased undergraduate enrollment by 12%.

2. Increased graduate enrollments by 74%.

3. Maintained freshman retention rate between 89% and 92%

4. increased fall to spring freshman retention from 95.7% to 97.2% (all time record high for allSchools and Colleges).

5. Increased the academic profile of incoming freshmen, for instance the average ACT scores ofincoming freshmen increased from 27.8 to 29.1.

6. Increased research productivity, such as research expenditures and proposals written substan-

tially. For instance, publications in printed archival journals that are ranked in scopus perfaculty member per year increased from below 0.3 to above 2.0.



7. Graduated the first PhD in Aviation in the world (Damon Lercel, in May 2013). Graduated thefirst PhD in Engineering in the history of the College (Junsik Lee, May 2014).

8. Increased revenue from philanthropy and gifts (cash received) by 76%.

9. In 2013 we guided Parks College teams through full ABET accreditations for the following pro-

grams: aerospace engineering; mechanical engineering; biomedical engineering; electrical engi-neering; computer engineering (inaugural accreditation); engineering physics. Civil engineering

(which was introduced in 2009) received its full inaugural accreditation in August 2014.

10. The fall of 2014 we submitted the AABI re-accreditation visit request for our flight science(pilots) program and for the inaugural accreditation of our aviation management program.

These visits will take place the spring semester of 2016.

• 2012-2015, Development of five-year College Strategic Plan:- The information below is available in the College webpages

http://parks.slu.edu/strategic-plan/ and/or in http://parks.slu.edu/about-parks/strategic-plan/- I established the overall process and timeline; and provided guidance and resources for this effort

- My appointed teams coordinated the efforts and consolidated the input of diverse constituents- Faculty, staff, students, alumni and university administration provided input

- The Strategic Plan was jointly written by my appointed teams and an ad-hoc committee appointedby the College’s Faculty Assembly

- The effort resulted the first Strategic Plan in known history of the College (going back 35+ years)

- This Plan was adopted by vote by the Parks College Faculty Assembly on April 29th 2015- This is a 5-year dynamic and responsive plan, which includes goals, objectives, planned actions and

measures, and built-in structures to enable annual revisions based on emerging opportunities

• 2015, Timing of College with University Strategic Plans:- The College Strategic Plan was timed to provide inputs to the University’s Strategic Plan;

- and in time to provide inputs to the University’s bicentennial (2018) campaign- Note: The University’s Strategic Plan was finalized the fall of 2015

• 2012-2015, Considerations for new opportunities:- In parallel to the College Strategic Plan our faculty considered potential opportunities in:

- Unmanned Aerial Systems;- Autonomous Systems (Robotics);

- Medical Product Engineering/Entrepreneurship; and- Engineering Leadership (graduate).

These were derived from existing but previously not marketed interdisciplinary College strengths,and may be pursued in the future subject to availability of resources.

• 2012-2015, Considerations for interdisciplinary research productivity: The programs men-tioned above were derived around existing areas of research strengths and competitive advantages.

For instance, in autonomous systems and unmanned aerial vehicles we couple our strengths in aero-dynamics and aviation with research emphasis in the College of Public Health and Social Justice and

Medicine, and with local investments by Boeing. In medical product engineering/entrepreneurshipwe have close proximity with two world-class medical schools, College and University excellence for

entrepreneurship, and nationally-prominent local capacity for investments in startups.



• 2014-2015, Space allocation and preparation of the University’s bicentennial campaign:- We secured about 50% additional Frost-Campus space for the expanding College activities in:

Litteken Hall; and in spaces vacated by the Department of Physics in McDonnell Douglas Hall- We renovated our Hangar 8 facilities at St. Louis Downtown Airport- We negotiated an extension of the Hangar 8 lease in very favorable terms

- We commissioned an architectural study for the renovation of historic Hangar 1, and preparedartist’s renderings to propose this renovation as part of the University’s bicentennial campaign.

(The Aviation facilities were previously located in Hangar 1; its renovation is an aviation-alumnifavorite development topic)

• 2012-2015, Aviation specific actions:

- This Department is differentiated from its competitors by its healthy and expanding research profile- The total cost of the program (flight fees plus SLU tuition) was high compared to our competitors- Aviation enrollments had consequently declined

- We introduced alternative flight fee structures making the flight program financially attractive- We developed and distributed enrollment videos, branding and marketing campaigns

- We expanded collaborations and secured bridge programs with regional airlines for aviation students- We bought two Cirrus SR-20 airplanes (delivered June 2015) adding to the existing fleet of 13 planes

- We expanded efforts to attract international students in aviation programs- As a result of the combined efforts, aviation enrollments now show promising trends

• 2012-2015, Intensified marketing, communications and web presence:- Hired new Marketing Director, new Enrollment, Web and Events coordinators

- In 2103 we developed new branding, new web presence, new enrollment materials- We worked with the VP for Enrollment to expand the College’s recruitment market

- We increased multi-fold our visits to national recruiting events- Similarly we expanded international enrollment activities (especially graduate)

- We developed two separate enrollment videos for academic programs: the first to encouragepotential students to visit campus; the second to encourage admitted students to deposit

- We enhanced printed and web content for our news, hires, programs, labs, research, service- We developed consistent branding (including a consistent visual image for the College)

• 2012-2015, Restructured College Advisory boards:- We invited to the Departmental Industrial Advisory Boards influential industry representatives

- This intensified collaboration with industry, and expanded internship and bridge programs- We restructured the Dean’s Executive Advisory Board (EAB) to include national industry leaders

- The EAB was subdivided in development, academic, external relations etc. subgroups- With monthly collaborative meetings we secured the support of the Parks College Alumni Board

- All Boards worked efficiently and closely with the College to achieve common goals

• 2012-2015, Enhanced alumni relations:

- We created databases of alumni, by capacity and program affinity, by region, and by interest(Institute of Technology, Parks Aviation, Parks Engineering, professional societies, fraternities,

Women in Aviation, employment groups etc.)- We identified alumni points of contact in major alumni centers in preparation for the Campaign

- I visited alumni nationwide several times a year and discussed our ongoing progress- Development income (cash donations in philanthropy and gifts) increased 76%



Other activities while at Parks College and SLU

• Attended annual ASEE Engineering Deans Institute meetings and Global Engineering Deans Council

meetings.

• In April 2014 I organized the 2nd annual meeting of Engineering Deans of Catholic Universities.This meeting helps us address the opportunities and challenges offered by the unique mission of these

universities. At this meeting I suggested and took forward the effort to offer online/asynchronousteaching of some graduate courses between our institutions. With this we will be able to offer a

vast breadth of graduate teaching despite the individually-limited (but substantial when combined)resources, and diverse expertise available to the group.

• Attended the “Development for Deans and Academic Leaders Conference”, November 6-8, 2013 in

Boston, MA, organized by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE).

• Attended the “Advanced Leadership Development in Higher Education Conference”, March 9 - 11,

2015 in Atlanta, GA, organized by Academic Impressions.



QUEEN MARY, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON, ENGLAND, January 2006-August 2012

THE INSTITUTION: Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) is a UK public research universityand one of the largest constituent colleges of the University of London (www.london.ac.uk). QMUL has its

roots in four historic Colleges: Queen Mary College (established 1887), Westfield College, St Bartholomew’sHospital Medical College (established 1843, but St. Bartholomew’s Hospital dating back to 1123 AD) and

the London Hospital Medical College. QMUL is one of 24 leading research universities in the UK known asthe Russell Group (www.russellgroup.ac.uk) and is considered among the top 100 universities in the world.QMUL has about 17,000 full-time students and 4,000 “staff” (combined faculty and staff by US standards),

an annual turnover of about £350m, of which about £100m is from research grants and contracts, andan endowment of about £34m. QMUL is organized into three faculties: Humanities and Social Sciences;

Science and Engineering; and Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry. Engineeringeducation at QMUL was founded in the mid Victorian era when growing awareness of conditions in London’s

East End led to drives to provide education facilities for local inhabitants. The foundation stone was laidon 28 June 1886 and on 14 May 1887 Queen Victoria opened Queen’s Hall as well as laying the foundation

stone for the technical schools, which opened on 5 October 1888. Teaching of aeronautical engineeringbegan in 1907 and this became the first UK aeronautical engineering department in 1909. During the

Second World War the College was evacuated to Cambridge University’s King’s College.


2006-12: Graduate School Board (postgraduate enrollment central body)2006-12: Undergraduate board

2008-12: Director, Sustainable Energy MSc degree program2006-12: Research Committee

2006-12: QMUL Sustainability Project Working Group2006-12: Academic leadership of: 7 Professors; 5 Readers; 2 Senior Lecturers (Associate Profs); 5 Lecturers

(Assistant Profs); and numerous (over 40) postdocs and PhD students.

PROFESSOR AND CHAIR OF ENERGY ENGINEERING, February 2006-August 2012

THE POSITION: By 2006 The School of Engineering included the combined faculty of mechanical,

aerospace, civil and biomedical engineering; and in 2008 it merged with materials science in the Schoolof Engineering and Materials Science, with four research groups: energy; aerodynamics; biomedical; and

materials. I was hired in 2006 as Professor and Chair of Energy Engineering in order to coordinate theactivities of the energy, mechanical, aerodynamics, and modelling and simulation faculty. This group was

broadly comprised of the mechanical, aerospace, several traditional engineering, and remnants of an oldercivil engineering faculty within the School of Engineering and Materials Science. The other two groups inthe School were the Biomedical Engineering Faculty and the Materials Science Faculty.

THE CHALLENGE: In 2006 I was hired to guide this team of engineering academics in London to

what turned out to be international recognition. Undergraduate engineering enrollments were creating70% of the revenue and were higher in engineering and lower in biomedical and materials. The engineering

faculty were friendly as a group and meeting regularly on a social basis, but working in seemingly diverseareas of research as fiercely independent individual researchers. In the UK research funding for individual

investigators was declining in favor of larger grants allocated to groups of researchers. The group had tofind common ground in research projects of common interest, and increase research outputs and revenue.

• 2006-2009, Successful faculty recruiting and academic expansion:

- We hired as Lecturers (equivalent to assistant professors in the UK system) the following- Dr. D. S. Wen; Dr. H. S Wang; Dr. Mat Alexander and Dr. T. Lovas in Future Energy Applications;



- we hired Dr. Andrew Wheeler as Lecturer in Aerodynamics.- Group members developed their individual areas of expertise, wrote many individual proposals,

but also gradually increased collaborative research activity- In collaboration with about 15 existing faculty working in heat transfer, aerodynamics, engines and

fuels we wrote many joined proposals and research papers in our areas of expertise working

as groups of: aerodynamics; numerical simulation; and energy, engine and fuel topics. We alsosupervised about 40 postdocs and PhD students working in our research labs.

- by 2012 the group had grown to 19 faculty: 7 Professors; 5 Readers; 2 Senior Lecturers (AssociateProfs); 5 Lecturers (Assistant Profs); and over 40 postdocs and PhD students.

• 2007-2011 Introduced and directed a successful MSc graduate program: I led the group

effort to introduce a new MSc degree in Sustainable Energy Systems, using existing resources, i.e.courses we were already offering in Renewable Energy Engineering; Renewable Energy Materials; andvarious elective courses that were concurrently offered as undergraduate electives. We added one new

course in Economics and Management of Renewable Energy Powerplants. I personally maintainedacademic ownership of the content of this course, gave 10% of the lectures (the introductory lectures

in reviewing the state of energy and renewable energy in the world), and hired an industry expertto teach the economics and management aspects of the course content. The combination of this

new course module and our existing energy engineering, energy materials and elective courses gavea very unique flavor to the new MSc degree. Our international marketing campaign made this the

most successful new graduate program at QMUL. Fully-funded students from around the globe wereattracted to our program, and in its 2nd year of offering the program was ”bursting at the seams”

with enrollment, providing a substantial net revenue to the School, and outstanding students to ourPhD program (as well as eager contributors to faculty research in our group).

• 2006-2012, Promote undergraduate teaching excellence by personal example: I insistedon teaching the entire class of 250-300 undergraduate students in thermodynamics alone, in large

lecture halls, using my PhD students as lab assistants, tutorial providers, providers of daily helpsessions scheduled 5-6 pm; and graders. I spent 6-8 hours per week on lecturing and administering

elements this class. Over 3-4 weeks in May in a full-time effort I personally graded all final exams(required of course instructors in the UK). The rest of the workload was provided by my assistants.

The thermodynamics content was very demanding, but the students recognized the quality andeffort that went into the course, gave us outstanding teaching reviews, and at the conclusion of thelast lecture annually the class usually treated the team with standing ovations. That was 90% of my

teaching in London, as the rest of my time was taken by research and administration. (This approachof teaching large classes in large lecture halls was suitable for QMUL and in the UK system, but it

may not be suitable for universities advertising small student-to-faculty ratios).

• 2006-2009, Investments in research and personal relations:- During my 6 years in London I led by example of inclusion and collaboration

- I freely shared my own research resources, and encouraged team integration into a cohesive unit- the team delivered the aerospace and mechanical engineering degree programs

• 2009-2012, Win two large proposals and several smaller ones:- I coordinated writing several proposals large and small, and encouraged my colleagues to be the

principal investigators in their areas of expertise- I led the effort on some proposals in engines and fuels, and took the lead in writing large proposals

on mechanical circulatory support devices (turbomachinery-based blood pumps, whereturbomachine design is my personal area of research expertise) in collaboration with The London



Chest Hospital and the commercialization office at QMUL.This led to substantial funding from the UK National Health Service (NHS) via the Invention for

Innovation (i4i) programme of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR).- This work on two medical devices won the Inventor of the Year Award from the NHS- This work is now progressing with the design and commercialization activities for two separate

mechanical circulatory support devices, one for stage III congestive heart failure, and a secondfor stage IV congestive heart failure

• 2006-2012, The measurable outcomes:

- Academic growth of the group and its members, and commercialization potential from the devices- By 2010 this QMUL group advanced to the list of the top 100 engineering programs in the world

- This was based on three metrics. We received disproportionately high scores for citations per paper- This metric, a measure of how much our research was noticed by quality rather than by sheer

volume, was a clear indicator of the international prominence of our research

- by 2012 the group had grown to 19 faculty: 7 Professors; 5 Readers; 2 Senior Lecturers (AssociateProfs); 5 Lecturers (Assistant Profs); and over 40 postdocs and PhD students

- The summer of 2012 I left to return to the USA, and at about the same time the hard work ofseveral group members (from those originally hired as entry-level faculty in 2006) was rewarded

with promotions:

- The group, those who stayed at QMUL and those who moved to other academic institutions,continues to work together on international initiatives, research proposals, and publications

- the team is continuing to help me in the process of completing my grants and graduate students

that were in the pipeline when I left London to return to the USA in August 2012

RECENT MULTI-DISCIPLINARY RESEARCH ACTIVITIES, July 2015 - date:

Leading Interdisciplinary Research Advisory Committee (academic and economic-development constituents)Documenting inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary organization of peer and aspirant institutions

Documenting inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary research data at SLURegional conference of multi-disciplinary research investigators

Facilitating submission of multi-university inter-disciplinary proposals to federal agenciesNetworking with national professional societies and organizations

Promoting pilot innovative funding mechanisms for multi-disciplinary proposalsDocumenting and promoting adoption of interdisciplinary research strategies by the university

Sample output measures over the past three years are the following:

• Increased undergraduate enrollment by 12%.

• Increased graduate enrollments by 74%.

• Maintained freshman retention rate between 89% and 92%. Increased fall to spring freshman retention

rate from 95.7% to 97.2% (all time record high for all Schools and Colleges).

• Increased the academic profile of incoming freshmen, for instance the average ACT scores of incomingfreshmen increased from 27.8 to 29.1.

• Increased research outputs, expenditures and productivity substantially. For example, research pub-lications in printed archival journals that are ranked in scopus per faculty member per year increased

from below 0.3 to above 2.0.

• Increased revenue from philanthropy and gifts (cash received) by 76%.



• Developed the first College Strategic Plan in the known history of the College, going back at least35 years. This is a 5-year dynamic plan which includes goals, objectives, measures and actions to

achieve the measures, and is designed to be revised annually in order to take advantage of emergingopportunities. It was adopted by the Parks College Faculty Assembly by vote in April 2015.

• The strategic plan prepared the College goals for the bicentennial campaign of the University.

• We secured additional space for the expanding College in Litteken Hall. In parallel we renovated ourHangar 8 facilities at St. Louis Downtown Airport and negotiated an extension of the lease in very

favorable terms for our flight program and the Department of Aviation. In parallel we commissionedan architectural study for the renovation of historic Hangar 1, and prepared artist’s renderings toinclude this renovation as part of the University’s bicentennial campaign.

• Aviation: We developed visionary enrollment videos, branding and marketing campaigns, established

bridge programs with regional airlines, and worked with the Office of Enrollment and Retention Man-agement to introduce alternative fee structures in order to reverse the trend of challenged enrollments.

We also enhanced the existing fleet of 13 airplanes with the addition of two new Cirrus SR-20 glass-cockpit airplanes (delivered June 2015). Concurrently the aviation department is unique among its

counterparts nationally in that it has a very healthy and expanding research profile.

• Graduated the first PhD in Aviation in the world (Damon Lercel, in May 2013). Graduated the first

PhD in Engineering in the history of the College (Junsik Lee, May 2014).

• In 2013 we guided Parks College teams through full ABET accreditations for the following pro-grams: aerospace engineering; mechanical engineering; biomedical engineering; electrical engineering;

computer engineering (inaugural accreditation); engineering physics. Civil engineering (which wasintroduced in 2009) received its full inaugural accreditation in August 2014.

• The fall of 2014 we submitted the AABI re-accreditation visit request for our flight science (pilots)program and for the inaugural accreditation of our aviation management program. These visits will

take place in spring 2016.

• Using our network of research connections, we expanded international collaborations with top-tierglobal Universities.

• We increased diversity by supporting projects and student chapters of National Society of BlackEngineers, Engineers Without Borders, Women in Aviation, Society of Women Engineers, Introduce

a Girl to Engineering, etc; and by articulating a new 2+3 dual-degree program in Mathematics andEngineering with neighboring Harris Stowe State College (HBCU).

• We created databases of alumni, by capacity and program affinity, by region, and by interest (Instituteof Technology, Parks Aviation, Parks Engineering, engineering professional societies, aviation frater-

nities, Women in Aviation, other fraternity sub-groupings, employment groups etc). We connectedwith alumni nationally and internationally by personal visits, and identified local points of contact

in major alumni centers who are willing to engage other local alumni in the impending Universitycampaign.

Other representative actions and outcomes

Hired replacements for 3 department chairs and 12 new faculty; and consequently we effectively replacedby natural attrition 35% of College faculty with research-active academics



In addition, we hired 3 internationally-known for their research adjunct faculty as Distinguished ProfessorsIdentified and strategically marketed distinguishing features of the College

Intensified marketing campaign and web presence, enhancing ranking, enrollment, and outreach activitiesAmong founding 19 Colleges in the National Academy of Engineering Grand Challenge Scholars ProgramPlanned international exchange programs and Collaborations with top international Universities
