Instructors

Dr. Michael L. Heil, Case Western Reserve University instructor is an independent aerospace and defense consultant with over 40 years’ experience in aerospace research, development, test, acquisition, and higher education. From 2007 to 2016, he served as President and CEO of the Ohio Aerospace Institute (OAI), a 60 person, $17M annual budget non-profit aerospace research and educational institute with offices in Cleveland and Dayton. Prior to joining OAI, Michael served as Director, Center for Space Studies and Research at the Air Force Institute of Technology. He retired from Air Force active duty in 2005 at the rank of Colonel after serving as Director of the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Propulsion Directorate with responsibilities for propulsion and power research at Wright-Patterson and Edwards Air Force Bases. A distinguished engineering graduate from the U.S. Air Force Academy, class of 1975, Michael earned a master’s degree in flight structures from Columbia University on a Guggenheim Fellowship and a doctorate in aerospace engineering from the Air Force Institute of Technology. He served as Commander, Phillips Laboratory; Commander, Arnold Engineering Development Center; and Commandant of the Air Force Institute of Technology. He has served in two Air Force acquisition centers, four defense laboratories, a test center, a major command staff, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, and the faculties of the Air Force Academy and Air Force Institute of Technology. He is a Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

Dr. Robert Bianco is an instructor in Siegal’s Lifelong Learning Program Continuing Professional Studies at Case Western Reserve University. Bob is a materials expert and technical lead for Swagelok’s Additive Manufacturing Program. Prior to joining Swagelok, Bob began his professional career in 1997 at Goodrich’s (now United Technologies Aerospace Systems) Materials and Simulation Technical Center where he held positions of increasing responsibility culminating as the Manager, Materials and Process R&D before his departure. He led a group of scientists and engineers to advance the state-of-the-art in materials and their processes for the aerospace industry. Prior to joining Goodrich, he was a Senior Engineer at Westinghouse’s Bettis Atomic Power Laboratory responsible for the development of material systems for advanced energy conversion applications. Bob earned a B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. in Metallurgical Engineering from The Ohio State University and an Engineering and Technology Management Certificate from Caltech’s Industrial Relations Center. Bob has authored 13 refereed journal articles, 50+ internal technical reports; 18 patents issued or filed, 40 invention records submitted; and 50+ presentations.
