Our research

We focus on modeling, estimation, and control of complex uncertain systems. Our work is organized around three focus areas—space systems, dynamics and control, and computational biology—with specific projects and sub-topics under each.

Focus areas

Our active work is organized by focus area. Under each we list specific projects and sub-topics.

Space systems

We work on space infrastructure and in-space capabilities: power beaming between spacecraft, characterization of uncooperative bodies, and related dynamics and control problems.

Satellite-to-satellite power beaming

We are developing and researching wireless power beaming between spacecraft in orbit to enable new capabilities for space infrastructure. Our current emphasis is system-level application. We are moving toward physics-based simulations, controls for accurate pointing, networking of constellations, and thermal analysis.

Uncooperative body characterization

We work on characterizing the dynamics of tumbling and uncooperative objects—relevant for space debris, rendezvous, and scenarios involving complex rigid-body motion. Our approach includes vision-based methods for 3D reconstruction and feature recognition, using both traditional and machine learning methods.

Dynamics, estimation & control

Cross-cutting methods for modeling, estimation, and control of complex uncertain systems. This theme supports our space work (e.g. tumbling dynamics, pointing control for power beaming) and our work in computational biology.

Computational biology

We apply dynamical systems and control-theoretic approaches to biological networks for medical applications. Our work is still evolving.

Current direction

One topic we are investigating is computational stability and control of neurodegenerative disease networks.

Publications & outputs

As our projects mature, we will share reports, preprints, and data here. Papers will be listed with title, authors, date, and link (e.g. arXiv or PDF).
