Keith A. LeGrand works on tracking and estimating the position and motion of objects in space, including satellites and other spacecraft, especially in regions like cislunar space (between Earth and the Moon). His work develops mathematical and computational methods—such as Gaussian mixture models, sensor fusion, and optimization techniques—for handling uncertainty and combining data from multiple sensors to estimate where objects are and predict how they will move.
