Biography
During past few years, my research has focused on: 1) orientation and position estimation of spacecraft, 2) attitude sensor data processing, 3) satellite constellations, and 4) various topics in linear algebra and numerical algorithms (function inversion, functional interpolation, differential equations, rotation in n-dimensional spaces, etc.).
