The Department of Statistical Science welcomes Dr. Matt Hejduk to campus to present
“Spacecraft Collision Probability Analysis: Theory and Problems.” Dr. Hejduk has spent over
twenty years in the design, development, and assessment of space sensing and command and
control systems. He holds degrees from Princeton University, Southern Methodist University,
and the University of Dallas, and presently serves as chief scientist for the spacecraft Collision
Avoidance and Risk Assessment (CARA) project at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and as
lead for the Space Surveillance Performance Analysis project at headquarters Air Force Space
Command. His research interests include satellite characterization and modeling from nontime-series signature data, satellite orbit determination and characterization, and sensor and
network simulation.
A reception with light refreshments will be held for Dr. Hejduk at 3:00 in the lobby of the Statistical Science
Department on the first floor of Marrs McLean Science.
