At the Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering all graduate students - and a growing number of undergrads - are involved in research. The School's research efforts are organized around eight multidisciplinary research areas (MRAs), listed below. Visit the individual MRA pages to learn more about these collaborations and to connect with the faculty and individual labs associated with each area.
Then, join us. We've got a lot of work to do.
Cyberphysical Systems, Safety, Security, & Reliability
This research delves into the many components of cyber-physical systems (CPS) - the interacting of digital, analog, physical, and human components engineered for function through integrated physics and logic.

Large-Scale Computations, Data, & Analytics
Solving big problems requires big investments - in people, in time and in computing. The Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering has deep roots in all three.
Mechanics of Multifunctional Structures and Materials
The Daniel Guggenheim School's next generation research explores the behavior of materials and structures in environments and loading scenarios unique to aerospace engineering.
Robotics, Autonomy and Human Interaction
This area encompasses wide-ranging research on robotic autonomous systems --intelligent machines with the ability to perceive, reason, and act on their environment in order to achieve a specific task.
- Autonomous Controls & Decision Laboratory
- Center for Advanced Machine Mobility
- Cognitive Engineering Center
- Dynamics and Control Systems Laboratory
- GT Decision & Control
- Intelligent Robotics & Emergent Automation Lab
Space Exploration & Earth Monitoring
This research area supports multiple faculty and research labs that are creating space technologies and advanced mission concepts to enable new missions and capabilities in robotic and human space exploration.
Sustainable Transportation & Energy Systems
The Daniel Guggenheim School's research in this area is bringing critical aerospace transport systems to a more sustainable level, with the goal of improving their environmental, climate and societal impacts.
System of Systems and Complex Systems Integration
System of systems engineering is an interdisciplinary effort to interface autonomous constituent systems to provide capabilities beyond the reach of singular systems.
