AI-Driven Detection and Localization of GNSS Interference: A Comprehensive Approach Using Portable Sensors
11:45 AM - 12:05 PMBiography
Yasamin Keshmiri Esfandabadi earned her B.S. in Electronics Engineering and M.S. in Mechatronics Engineering from the University of Qazvin, Iran. She completed her Ph.D. and postdoctoral research in Electronic Engineering at the University of Bologna, Italy. Her expertise spans signal processing for guided wave-based nondestructive testing, structural health monitoring, compressive sensing, and wavefield imaging. Currently, she is a Electronic Engineer at IGASPIN in Graz, Austria, working on advanced satellite navigation and positioning systems, leveraging her extensive knowledge in signal processing and engineering innovations.
Dr. Andreas Wenz
Project Manager Localisation
Swiss Federal Railways (SBB)
Towards Safe Localisation for Railways: Results from the EGNSS MATE Project
12:05 PM - 12:25 PMBiography
Andreas Wenz heads the Center of Competence for Localization at SBB. He has been working at SBB since 2020. His work focuses on the development of new sensor fusion algorithms for train localisation systems as well as the standardisation of these systems. He currently leads the ESA co-funded EGNSS MATE project and is involved in the EU-Rail R2Dato project.
Before his time at SBB, Andreas worked as a researcher at the Norwegian University of
Science and Technology, receiving his Ph.D. in Engineering Cybernetics in 2018.
