[2] Spakovszky received his Diplom Ingenieur degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich) in 1997.
[1] Spakovszky's research focuses on solving complex, real world, high relevance technological issues related to aeroengines, power and propulsion systems.
He has conducted work in compressor aerodynamics, aeroengine instabilities, rotordynamics, thermodynamics, aero-acoustics, propulsion and energy conversion, and aircraft design for environment.
The results helped improve an engine diagnostic and health monitoring test employed by airlines for fleet management purposes and required by an FAA airworthiness directive.
[4] He also led a team to develop ultra high-speed gas bearings that enabled operation of multi-wafer rotating MEMS machines for power and propulsion applications at micro scale.
