معرفی
Davide Guzzetti is an Associate Professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Auburn University, where he combines expertise in astrodynamics with cutting-edge technologies like machine learning and immersive computing.
- Ph.D. in Aeronautics and Astronautics, Purdue University
- M.S. in Space Engineering, Politecnico di Milano & Torino
- B.S. in Aerospace Engineering, Politecnico di Milano
His research focuses on space mission design and astrodynamics, particularly in cislunar environments and highly elliptical orbits. He leads innovative projects applying machine learning to satellite systems, virtual reality to trajectory design, and origami-inspired engineering to spacecraft deployables.
Recent publications reflect trends in orbital mechanics, autonomous space systems, and human-machine collaboration for space mission planning. His work spans technical analysis of self-folding polymers, game-theoretic approaches to satellite constellation competition, and immersive visualization tools for multi-body dynamics.
- NASA Early Career Faculty Award (2025)
- Ginn Faculty Achievement Fellow (2025)
Guzzetti's research has secured multiple grants including a NASA EPSCoR award for studying microgravity effects on self-folding polymer sheets and a NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) award for space-based self-assembling antenna arrays. He also contributes to educational innovations through Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and elementary education outreach programs in spacecraft dynamics.
His laboratory develops interactive solutions for astrodynamics applications, integrating immersive computing with intelligent systems to enhance space mission design processes. Current projects include studying resilience of deployable space structures and optimizing autonomous path-planning for asteroid proximity operations.
