Jack Winstanley

As a diligent and innovative team leader and researcher, I have excelled in both academic and practical settings. Currently fulfilling dual roles as a Baker Team Leader and an ambitious student, I have cultivated strong leadership and problem-solving skills. My academic prowess was highlighted by a distinction in my thesis on sustainable energy for rotating machines, where I developed a highly accurate predictive methodology for vane expander power output, achieving results within 2% of real-world applications.

My internships during the summers of 2021 and 2022 at my university focused on applying air motors as steam expanders, enhancing my research skills and my proficiency in aerodynamics-related software. This experience prepared me to contribute effectively in high-stakes environments, particularly in fields requiring precision and innovation in aerodynamic optimization.

During my master's program, I collaborated with JLC Group, a pioneering electric car manufacturer, on a proof of concept project to redesign an outdated vehicle model. My role was critical in enhancing the vehicle's aerodynamics using SolidWorks Flow Simulation. By applying my understanding of wind tunnel testing within a virtual environment, I significantly reduced the vehicle's drag by 20% and improved its stability at high speeds. This project demonstrated my ability to effectively apply theoretical aerodynamic principles in a simulated setting, proving my skills in innovative engineering solutions.

I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to bring my technical expertise and fresh insights to an advanced engineering team, where I can further develop my skills and contribute to ground-breaking projects in aerodynamics and sustainable energy solutions.
