Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJay Wilhelm is an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering with a decade of experience designing autonomous systems and advanced sensor technologies for uncrewed aerial systems and self-driving cars. He combines multidisciplinary training in mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering with a strong research track record in control algorithms, automated experiments, and mission planning for embedded autopilots. At Ohio University he leads large research projects while mentoring the next generation of controls engineers, translating academic innovations into practical navigation solutions. His background—Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering plus MS in Electrical Engineering and a BS in Computer Engineering—means he bridges theory and implementation across hardware, software, and real-world testing. Notably, he focuses on embedding intelligent mission planning on resource-constrained autopilots, an area that blends systems-level thinking with hands-on experimental validation.
