Jamey Jacob, Ph.D., P.E., is a Professor and John Hendrix Chair in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Oklahoma State University, leading the Oklahoma Applied Research Institute (OAIRE). He holds a Ph.D. from UC Berkeley (1995), with earlier degrees from the same institution and the University of Oklahoma.
His research focuses on aerodynamics, UAV design, vortex dynamics, geophysical flows, and autonomous systems. Notable projects include solar balloon flight dynamics, eclipse observations, and advanced air mobility (AAM) weather systems. Jacob has pioneered UAV-based weather sensing and developed innovative aerostructures, including inflatable systems.
He has received over 15 prestigious awards, including the Regents Distinguished Teacher (2011) and Oklahoma Innovator of the Year (2010). His recent work emphasizes urban wind field mapping and stratospheric balloon applications for planetary science. Jacob’s lab, OAIRE, integrates aerospace engineering with environmental and operational challenges, advancing both academic and applied frontiers.
