Speaker
Mr. Wout Van Uytsel
Phd Researcher
Idlab - Uantwerpen - Imec
Addressing Divergence in Least-Squares for LEO-PNT
2:30 PM - 2:50 PMBiography
Wout Van Uytsel obtained his Bachelor’s degree in Applied Engineering: Electronics-ICT from the University of Antwerp, Belgium, in 2022, followed by a Master’s degree in the same field from the same university in 2023. Currently, he is pursuing a PhD at the University of Antwerp within the IDLab - imec research group. His primary research interests include Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite communication and indoor positioning using satellite signals.
Dr. Lotfi Massarweh
GNSS Researcher
Delft University of Technology
Regional network estimation of low Earth orbit systems for positioning, navigation, and timing.
2:50 PM - 3:10 PMBiography
Lotfi Massarweh is a GNSS researcher in the Mathematical Geodesy and Positioning group at TU Delft, and a former Marie-Curie fellow for the H2020 TREASURE program, during which he worked as an aerospace engineer at Deimos Engenharia in Lisbon.
He completed his PhD on mixed-integer models, specializing in integer ambiguity resolution for kinematic precise positioning and orbit determination, along with PPP-RTK user and network estimation.
In this contribution, he will discuss advancements in future LEO-PNT systems, thus emphasizing the anticipated needs and challenges for ground-based estimation of LEO satellite corrections with high accuracy and low latency.
Mr. Alessio Curzio
Gnss Receiver And Test Engineer
Qascom
Starlink based Positioning using Qascom SDR Receiver: Design and Demonstration
3:10 PM - 3:30 PMBiography
Alessio Curzio is a GNSS Receiver and Test Engineer at Qascom, specializing in GNSS, PNT, and signal processing. His work focuses on developing receivers for future dedicated LEO-PNT systems and leveraging signals of opportunity for positioning and navigation. He is also involved in a test user receiver project utilizing Galileo 1st and 2nd generation signals. The topic he plans to cover is "Starlink-based Positioning using Qascom SDR Receiver: Design and Demonstration."
Dr. Daniel Egea-Roca
Postdoctoral Researcher
Ieec-uab
Performance Assessment of Multi-RIS-Aided Localization in Terrestrial and Non-Terrestrial Networks
3:30 PM - 3:50 PMBiography
Daniel Egea Roca received the M.Sc. and PhD in Electrical Engineering in 2012 and 2017, respectively, from Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB). Currently, he is a post-doctoral researcher at the SPCOMNAV group at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), hired by the Institute of Space Studies of Catalonia (IEEC).
His research interests lie in the field of statistical signal processing applied to integrity in GNSS receivers, and signal design and processing for LEO-PNT.
The topic to be presented deals with the use of reflective inteligent surfaces (RIS) to aid localization in terrestrial networks and non-terrestrial (i.e., satellite-based) networks.
