Background

About Paul Groves

Paul Groves specialises in robust positioning and navigation techniques for challenging environments. These are a key enabler for many different engineering problems. He is interested in all navigation and positioning technologies, including global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), inertial sensors and environmental feature matching. Particular focuses include exploring novel positioning techniques, developing reliable urban positioning and integrating complex sensor combinations. Paul joined UCL in 2009 after 12 years at DERA and QinetiQ. He is an inventor of the GNSS shadow-matching technique and has contributed to innovations in terrain-referenced navigation, visual navigation, positioning using AM radio broadcasts, heterogeneous feature-matching, and detection of GNSS NLOS reception and multipath interference. He has developed algorithms for all forms of INS/GNSS integration, multisensor integration, transfer alignment, quasi-stationary alignment, zero-velocity updates, pedestrian dead reckoning, GNSS C/N0 measurement, and inertial navigation. He also has extensive experience in GNSS and IMU software simulation. Paul is a Fellow of the Royal Institute of Navigation, an active member of the Institute of Navigation and a Chartered Physicist. He is an Associate Editor of Navigation: Journal of the ION and of The Journal of Navigation. He has helped to organize a number of conferences and seminars and acted as a peer reviewer for numerous journals.
