Tarek Elgohary is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Central Florida (UCF). He serves as Director of the Astrodynamics and Space Robotics Laboratory, focusing on space systems research. Prior to joining UCF, he held postdoctoral and visiting scholar positions at Texas A&M University and the University of California, Irvine. His research spans astrodynamics, optimal control, robotics, and space situational awareness. Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering – Texas A&M University M.S. in Aerospace Engineering – Texas A&M University B.S. in Mechanical Engineering – American University in Cairo Elgohary's research employs advanced computational methods including radial basis functions, machine learning, and analytical perturbation techniques. His work addresses space navigation, uncertainty propagation, and robotic systems for spacecraft motion emulation, with recent focus on cislunar orbit modeling and space debris tracking. His publications demonstrate trends in machine learning applications for orbital mechanics, uncertainty quantification , and space situational awareness . Key methodologies include physics-informed neural networks, octree-based coverage algorithms, and adaptive variational iteration techniques. Heep Fellowship (2013-14) Aerospace Engineering Graduate Fellowship (2012-13) Regents Fellowship (2008-09) Elgohary's laboratory develops algorithms for space exploration missions, including lunar dust mitigation strategies and autonomous spacecraft control systems. His team works on hardware-in-the-loop testing for flight validation and parallel computing architectures for space domain awareness.
