Research summary
AI-generated

Daniel DeLaurentis works on aerospace systems engineering, focusing on how complex systems made of many interacting parts (called 'systems of systems') can be designed, managed, and optimized. His recent work spans trajectory planning for electric air taxis and spacecraft, urban air mobility networks, space sustainability policy, and using AI tools like graph-based data integration to help design and evaluate large aerospace projects. Students in this group would likely engage with a mix of optimization methods, simulation tools, and systems-engineering frameworks applied to aviation and space problems.
