Areas of Interest:
- Spaceflight mechanics / Astrodynamics;
- Optimal control / Optimization / Numerical methods;
- Orbit determination;
- Multi-body dynamics;
- Periodic orbits and general orbit stability (high-fidelity repeat ground track design, constellation design, cyclers, planetary moon trajectories);
- General trajectory designs for spacecraft missions to low-Earth-orbit, Geo-stationary, the Moon, libration points, Mars, comets, asteroids, and the Jupiter and Saturn moon systems;
- Efficient software implementation (parallel computing, GPU computing);
