My research interest are mainly in the field of Astrodynamics and Flight Mechanics. This include, but not limited to, Deep Space Mission Design, Trajectory Design, Planetary Defense, Astrodynamics, Aircraft Performance, and Stability and Control of Aerospace Vehicles.
Currently I’m advising undergraduate students from IULI in various topics as follows:
While not typically published as formal papers, details of my collaborative work with former students through thesis advising can be found on the ALUMNI.
In our research group, we prioritize the use of Free and Open Source Tools, such as:
For CAD, unfortunately, open-source alternatives still fall short of meeting our needs, so we typically recommend using Onshape.
