Paul W. Schumacher
Paul W. Schumacher, Jr., Ph.D., has more than 30 years of experience in the Space Control mission area. He currently serves as Principal Investigator in Astrodynamics for Space Situational Awareness for the Space Surveillance Systems Branch of Air Force Research Laboratory, Maui, Hawaii. His research interests include uncertainty quantification for SSA, uncertainty propagation in dynamical systems, data association for SSA problems, and many aspects of astrodynamics. For the ten-year period 2005-2015, he served as Technical Lead for the High-Performance Computing Software Applications Institute for Space Situational Awareness at AFRL and Maui High Performance Computing Center. Before joining AFRL in 2005, Dr. Schumacher was the Technical Advisor for Operations at Naval Network and Space Operations Command, the naval component of the joint-service military Space Control mission, in Dahlgren, Virginia. During his career, Dr. Schumacher has collaborated with every DOD branch of service and with many civilian U.S. Government agencies in solving current operational space-related problems and in developing advanced sensor systems, advanced analytical and computational techniques, and new concepts of operation for Space Control. Dr. Schumacher is an Associate Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics and has served on AIAA’s Astrodynamics Committee on Standards since 1995.
