Jörg Wollert

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jörg Wollert serves as Professor and Director of the Institute for Applied Automation and Mechatronics within the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics at Aachen University of Applied Sciences. He actively teaches Mechatronics and Embedded Systems while participating in university governance through the Rectorate Commission for Research and Development.

His research spans embedded systems implementation across industrial automation and automotive domains, with particular emphasis on wireless building technologies (Thread, AllJoyn, IEEE802.15.4), industrial communication protocols (OPC-UA, IO-Link, CAN-FD, BroadR-Reach), and safety-critical architectures. Current projects involve FPGA-based safety stacks, autonomous vehicle networking, and secure embedded communication solutions using Arduino platforms.

As Director of the Institute for Applied Automation and Mechatronics and affiliate of the Institute for Mobile Autonomous Systems and Cognitive Robotics (MASKOR), he supervises numerous final theses in embedded system design. His laboratory work focuses on practical implementations including delta kinematics robots, vehicle control systems, and building automation demonstrations for lighting, HVAC, and wireless HART protocols.
