Robert Squiers

I am motivated by the global impact resulting from sustainable practices and infrastructure improvements as applied to the production of goods and renewable energies. As a member of the Erb Institute, I am interested in the cross-section of business and sustainability to prove that environmentally conscious changes can also be economically feasible.

As a Naval Officer, I witnessed first-hand the power and potential of renewable technologies as I led a team of Sailors through the operation of a Naval nuclear power plant onboard the USS Nimitz (CVN 68). After the Navy, I pursued a civilian career with impact as a Project Manager at a Boston-based clean technologies startup developing the company’s first-ever commercial product focused on the decarbonization of the pulp and paper industry.

I hold a BS in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Michigan. Outside of school, I enjoy hiking, skiing, traveling, and exploring all the cultural opportunities that Ann Arbor has to offer. Go Blue!
