Profile

I am currently a Ph.D. candidate within the research group of Mathematical Geodesy and Positioning. In 2020, I completed my Bachelor’s (Hons) degree in Aerospace Engineering at TU Delft, with a cum laude distinction. Subsequently, in 2022, I achieved my Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering with a specialization in Spaceflight, also from TU Delft. During my Master's studies, I had the opportunity to undertake an internship at EUMETSAT, where I assisted the Data Services team on the WEkEO DIAS (Data and Information Access Service) project for Copernicus data.

Research

The objective of this Ph.D. is to research in-depth into an integrity theory for reliable and high-precision centimeter-level Interferometric GNSS (I-GNSS) positioning. This is deemed crucial for addressing the challenges posed by safety-critical applications, such as self-driving vehicles. The development of the integrity theory requires a focused examination of statistical hypothesis testing and multi-constellation GNSS carrier-phase measurements.
