Research Interests:

• Hybrid Systems
  Thermodynamics is approached from a control-oriented perspective and applied to the coordination of large formations of aerospace vehicles.
  This research area is presently investigated at Georgia Tech .

• Coordinated Vehicles
  Analytical methods to find fuel optimal trajectories for large formations of 6DOF spacecraft flying in Low Earth Orbit (LEO).
  This research area was initiated at Virginia Tech and is presently investigated at Georgia Tech.

• Remote Sensing
  Dynamics and control of spaceborne platforms for remote sensing aimed at supporting civilian and military activities. Higher emphasis has been put on Internferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) technology.
  This research area has been tackled at the Italian Space Agency (ASI) and at Co.Ri.S.T.A. (Consortium of Research for Advanced Remote Sensing Systems).

• Space Systems Concurrent Design
  The concurrent design technique has been widely investigated for phase 0 and A design of space systems design.
  This research area has been explored at the Italian Space Agency (ASI) with direct experience on ESA Concurrent Design Facility (ESA CDF) software package.
