Dr. Wise has been actively involved in the application of modern estimation and control methodologies in guidance, navigation, and flight control problems for jet aircraft and missiles. He has designed flight control systems for fighter aircraft, missiles, munitions, ejections seats, and unmanned air vehicles. His most recent accomplishment includes the aerodynamically unstable X-45A Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle. His research interests include aircraft and missile dynamics and control, robust adaptive control of linear and nonlinear systems, and robustness theory for parametric and dynamic uncertainties. He has authored more than 50 technical articles, and teaches graduate level control theory at Washington University, Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville, and at the University of Missouri - Rolla graduate extension and UMSL.
