WNCG professor Todd Humphreys and postdoctoral fellow Peter Iannucci of the Radionavigation Laboratory have developed a system using the constellation of SpaceX satellites to potentially deliver a low-cost, more accurate, and highly secure alternative to GPS. Their work was recently featured in the MIT Technology Review:

WNCG professor Todd Humphreys has received the Institute of Navigation’s (ION) “highest honor.” Humphreys was elected to the membership rank of Fellow at ION’s International Technical Meeting in January. He is one of only three recipients of the honor for 2020. Humphreys’ election cited his “significant and fundamental contributions to PNT security and precise GNSS positioning for the mass market, and for dedication to GNSS education and outreach.”

WNCG Postdoctoral Associate Javad Ghaderi will join Columbia University this fall as a new tenure-track assistant professor in electrical engineering with a focus on communications and networking. Prof. Ghaderi, who received the offer last year as a student at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign (UIUC) deferred the offer until 2014 for the opportunity to study as a Postdoctoral Associate with WNCG.
