About Matthew Kroll

Dynamic engineering student-athlete at the University of Michigan, combining a strong foundation in aerospace and computer science with a passion for solving complex challenges across diverse industries. As a varsity athlete on the Men’s Swimming & Diving team, I’ve honed skills in discipline, teamwork, resilience, and time management while balancing the demands of athletics and academics. I’ve had the opportunity to work on projects that require a blend of technical expertise, creativity, and strategic thinking, including: • Developing and testing autonomous drone systems for high-risk environment inspections in collaboration with NASA. • Consulting on scalable manufacturing strategies for Eli Lilly’s Alzheimer’s drug Kisunla™, emphasizing quality assurance, risk mitigation, and supply chain optimization to meet potential surges in demand. • Founding and executing a nationwide challenge to support collegiate swimming programs, showcasing leadership, marketing, and social impact strategies. My technical skills include programming (C++, MATLAB, Python), CAD design, and systems engineering principles, while my experience as a student-athlete has equipped me with leadership, adaptability, and an unwavering commitment to achieving goals. Whether it’s optimizing workflows, driving innovation, or crafting scalable solutions, I thrive in environments that demand cross-disciplinary collaboration, creative problem-solving, and a results-driven mindset.
