Areas of Research
My doctoral research has focused on Android smartphone GNSS positioning. To briefly summarize my research experience, I have worked on:
- Kalman Filtering and Data fusion: My research has involved the extensive application and development of Kalman filtering techniques, including adaptive estimation of measurement noise and the integration of GNSS Doppler for improved motion modeling. I am proficient in working with precise positioning algorithms like PPP and RTK.
- Robust Estimation: I have implemented and evaluated various Fault Detection and Exclusion (FDE) methods and have developed novel techniques for cycle slip detection and repair of carrier-phase GNSS data.
- Inertial and Coupled Navigation: I have a strong foundation in Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) and INS/GPS integration. I plan to incorporate smartphone inertial sensors for augmented adaptive/robust positioning.
