The Aero-Astro Computational and Experimental Lab (ACE Lab) was founded by Dr. Ehsan Taheri within the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Auburn University. The emphasis of our research is on closure of theory, computation and experimental aspects of a number of engineering systems. Specifically, we are interested in gaining insights to enhance the operation of aerospace vehicles. 

 

We specialize on developing rapid, dependable algorithms based on optimal control principles. The Research page presents a more comprehensive description of our past, recent and ongoing research projects related to the field of astrodynamics and atmospheric flight.
