His broad research interests are nonlinear and optimal control theory, localization and mapping, and autonomy with application to aerospace systems. He is most interested in developing principled approaches that improve the reliability and performance of autonomous aerospace systems operating in diverse or uncertain conditions. His research advances core functionalities such as trajectory design, state estimation, mapping, and decision making under uncertainty. Autonomous exploration, emergency response, advanced urban mobility, orbit insertion, and spacecraft entry, descent, and landing are a few applications of interest.
