Metre-level Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) positioning surrounds us all on a daily basis but for decades high accuracy centimetre-level positioning has been inaccessible to the mass market due to the relatively high hardware cost. My current focus is in the pursuit of knowledge to enable high precision positioning at a significantly lower cost.
My PhD research centered about the use of GNSSs for a multitude of precise positioning and navigation applications. Specific areas of application includes GNSS surveying and UAV navigation. My research required development of positioning algorithms, which include filters, functional, stochastic and predictive models to mitigate physical effects.

in the world of GNSS
Worked with SheqTrack, to develop a GNSS-based safety system for maintenance workers in their secure area at the Rotterdan World Gateway (RWG)
Tasks included:
A joint project between Gemini Navsoft Technologies Inc. and York University to examine single baseline RTK and PPP for determining long baseline (between 20 and 300 km) for deformation monitoring.
The aim of the project was to address the following questions:
The internship at Fugro Intersite focused on the transformation of the different ambiguity resolution products to be processed by Fugro’s PPP processing engine.
