Graduate student in aerospace engineering wins 2023 Breakwell Student Paper Award

Keziban Saloglu, a doctoral candidate in aerospace engineering, was recently awarded the 2023 Breakwell Student Paper Award, a prestigious student prize in astrodynamics. Saloglu, now in her second year at Auburn, was presented the award at the Space Flight Mechanics Meeting Jan. 15-19 in Austin, Texas, hosted by the American Astronautical Society and cohosted by the AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics).

Saloglu’s award-winning paper, “Existence of Infinitely Many Optimal Equal-∆v (Delta-V) Trajectories in Two-Body Dynamics,” shares a breakthrough method for spacecraft impulsive trajectory optimization.
