Professor Jörg F. Wagner

Professor Wagner holds the Chair of Flight Metrology at the University of Stuttgart's Faculty 6: Aerospace Engineering and Geodesy. His research integrates flight measurement technology, structural dynamics, gyroscopic systems, and experimental mechanics, emphasizing the synergy between theoretical modeling and experimental validation.

Key areas of focus include:

• Aircraft-based astronomy (SOFIA telescope)
• Historical preservation of gyroscopic instruments
• Integrated motion measurement for flexible structures
• Biomechanics and navigation systems
• Interdisciplinary projects combining mechatronics and space engineering

Recent work emphasizes the SOFIA telescope's structural performance optimization, MEMS sensor applications in navigation, and digital preservation of historical gyroscopes via 3D modeling. His team collaborates on large-scale astronomical projects like MICADO for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT).

Scientific contributions span over 25 years, with publications addressing vibration control, inertial technology heritage, and pedagogical innovation in engineering education.
