SUDHA VANA
Sudha Vana has completed her masters in this field from Ohio University, USA. She has vast experience in the avionics and automotive industry. She has worked on software development and system engineering in the sensors groups of companies. She has also worked for NASA on the Integrated Intelligent Flight Deck (IIFD) Project on the design and development of a senor model.
Sudha Vana is a Ph.D. student at the GNSS lab at York University with her research area focussed on the integration of low-cost inertial navigation sensors with the existing PPP software to improve and increase the availability and continuity of the navigation solution. Her research mainly focuses on integrating MEM's IMU's with the PPP solution since they help provide accurate and continuous positioning solutions, especially in difficult environments.
Besides, she has a number of extra-curricular interests such as classical dancing and singing. She loves hiking in the wilderness.

NACER NACIRI
Nacer completed his Masters at ISAE-SUPAERO in France before going on an exchange program at KTH in Sweden for a year. He concluded his Masters by doing an internship in the French space agency where he worked on the validation of some onboard algorithms for an astrophysics satellite (SVOM). Once he was done with his Masters, he decided to go live in yet another country and opted for a Ph.D. in Canada at York University in 2018.
Nacer is working on applying high-performance positioning algorithms to commercial systems using what's called Precise Point Positioning (PPP). He will be working on ambiguity resolution using triple frequency wide-laning, for improving the positioning performance of the PPP software. He will be working on analyzing the performance of different low-cost receivers and data from different navigation stations that provide clock and orbital products for the processing.
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).

DING YI
Ding completed his undergraduate degree in Geomatics at Wuhan University, China from 2012 to 2016. Ding obtained his master’s degree in Geomatics Engineering at the University of Stuttgart, Germany, and finished his master thesis at the institute of communication and navigation at the German Aerospace Center (DLR), where his research focused on collision detection algorithm through multi-sensor integration and map information.
He has been a member of the GNSS lab at York University since June of 2019, and his research interests include Precise Point Positioning (PPP) with the help of the integrated multisensor, vehicle trajectory tracking, and path planning.
In his free time, he enjoys hiking, video games, and playing basketball with friends.
