Welcome to the Systems Engineering, Autonomy, and Knowledge (SEAK) Lab’s website! We are part of the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Texas A&M University.

Here in the SEAK Lab, we are passionate about space, artificial intelligence, and design. Our research focuses on applications of optimization, knowledge representation and reasoning, and machine learning to improve autonomous decision making and decision support for the design and operation of space systems.

We are particularly interested in novel space mission concepts that leverage autonomy and distributed architectures to enable unprecedented capabilities and performance, such as networks of smart small satellites for responsive Earth observation.

Our algorithms and software tools have been used to design NASA missions, such as the TROPICS mission.
