Four mechanical engineering undergraduate students met the U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Poland, Stephen D. Mull, during a meeting hosted by the Institute of Aviation in Warsaw, Poland earlier this week.

The four students are currently participating in an internship program that began in January and will conclude at the end of March. The student interns are Dylan DeSantis, Dan Arch, Jeff Kremer, and Amanda McLaughlin.

While in Poland, the students are living in dormitories at the Warsaw Technical University (WTU), which has a research partnership with The Institute of Aviation (IofA). They are each working on a research subject with Engineering Professor Piotr Wolanski, who is affiliated with both WTU and the IofAThe internship also pays each of the students a monthly stipend during their three-month stay.  While in Poland, they may elect to participate in research that is underway at either WTU or the IofA. Research subjects vary from the development of a rotating detonation engine (both for rocket and gas turbine application), theoretical and experimental studies of ablative and regenerative cooling (protection) of a rocket’s engine combustion chamber and nozzle, and applications for electrical capacitance tomography among other optional research topics.
