6DOF Motion within Multi-Body Gravitational Fields

This research explores fundamental astrodynamics questions related to the orbit and attitude motion of rigid bodies within a multi-body gravitational field or for space systems operating under that regime.

Advanced Space Systems with Smart Materials

This research explores unique mission and space system concepts enabled by selected smart materials. It also includes testing these materials under relevant space environment conditions. Current applications feature novel solutions for space structure deployment, re-entry systems, and orbital debris remediation.

Strategic Interactions and Decision Dynamics in Adversarial Space Systems Games

This research explores the resilience of proliferated low Earth orbit (P-LEO) constellations across multiple domains and within the context of adversarial environments.

Spatial Computing for Trajectory Design and Mission Analysis

This research advances the design of spatial computing frameworks for astrodynamics applications using virtual reality and other immersive environments. Specific spatial reasoning and spatial cognition questions related to astrodynamics tasks are also relevant to this research area.

Autonomy for Space Flight

This research explores the application of modern machine learning to astrodynamics problems, including application to path planning, anomaly detection, and optical navigation.
