Professor Holzinger's creative efforts applying autonomy, controls & dynamical systems, and perception to space domain awareness (SDA) and space guidance, navigation, and control (GN&C) focus on a scholarly `theory to hardware' approach. Using this philosophy, theoretical investigations are confirmed through empirical observations of on-orbit space objects. He is also engaged in space-related policy. This combination of empirical data generation assets makes Dr. Holzinger's lab exceedingly unique, generating graduate students with strong theoretical foundations in astrodynamics, controls, and sensor systems, while also comfortable manipulating raw sensor data and operating the electro-optical assets themselves. Prof. Holzinger had substantive impact, and has testified on civil space traffic management at the U.S. Senate, authored white papers for the Air Force Research Laboratory, and is engaged in efforts to identify norms of behavior and rules of the road in space.
