Oguri Research Group
We conduct research at the intersection of astrodynamics, control theory, uncertainty quantification, and optimization. We advance fundamental theory, methods, and algorithms in these fields and apply them to vehicle autonomy and robot decision-making. Our research is strongly motivated by applications in space exploration.
Our research places an emphasis on the balance of mathematical rigor and practical relevance. Beyond fundamental research, we regularly interact and collaborate with industry and government labs to blend theory and practice, to identify and address critical challenges in real-world applications, and to contribute to the forefront of space exploration. On the fundamental side, our research spans stochastic control, optimal control, and optimization. On the space application front, our research addresses challenges in space exploration, navigation, and autonomy.
If you are insterested in our research group, are passionate about space exploration and space sciences, and enjoy math and physics, please reach out to Prof. Oguri via email at koguri@purdue.edu, with a full CV and a brief statement of why you want to join our group.
