Nacer is a Ph.D. student at the GNSS lab at York University. Prior to joining the lab, he received an aeronautics engineering degree from ISAE-SUPAERO in France, and an M.Sc. in aerospace engineering for KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden.

His current research interests involve Precise Point Positioning (PPP) and ambiguity resolution (AR), with his research focussing on improving PPP convergence time through multi-frequency multi-GNSS PPP-AR. His ultimate goal is to achieve instantaneous centimetre-level positioning on a global scale without the need for local infrastructure.

When he's not watching some random videos on Youtube, Nacer spends his free time listening to music or blasting his ears off at concerts whenever his favourite artists are in town. He also enjoys watching and playing soccer (or football as normal people would call it). The pandemic has also uncovered his passion for cycling, a new-found favorite hobby while some of the others are on hold.
