Mr. Jonathan Wilder received his BS in Biomedical Engineering from Marquette University, where he took a keen interest in biomechanics during his undergraduate studies. For his senior capstone project, Mr. Wilder and his group designed and developed an olfactometer (smell-test) device from concept to prototype. This device will be utilized to assess the level of smell loss in COVID-19 patients, providing an opportunity to investigate the long-term effects of COVID-19 on olfactory functions.
Mr. Wilder further his education by completing an MS in Biomedical Engineering from Marquette University. During his graduate research, he contributed to the development of a wearable ear-based head impact sensor, performing head impact experiments and biomechanical analyses. His research focused on evaluating the accuracy of head acceleration measurements for different head sizes and validating the sensor’s performance in the laboratory.
Mr. Wilder is beginning his post-grad career as an Associate Scientist in Explico’s Tampa office, where he performs biomechanical analyses for real-world accidents. He conducts vehicle inspections using state-of-the-art technologies to gather data and evidence. He performs detailed review and synthesis of case related material. He performs biomechanical calculations and simulations, as well as advanced biomechanical testing and experimentation. Mr. Wilder also uses communication and presentation skills to communicate the results of his analysis.
