Professor Axelrad's primary research focus is on methods and applications for Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) or GPS. She is particularly interested in GNSS for aerospace applications and remote sensing using GNSS occultations and reflections. Her other research areas include more general problems in spacecraft orbit estimation for space situational awareness and autonomous rendezvous and docking.
