Nacer Naciri

Nacer Naciri is a Postdoctoral Fellow at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Originally from Morocco, he received an aeronautics engineering degree from ISAE-SUPAERO in France, as well as a M.Sc. in aerospace engineering from KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden. After an internship at the French space agency CNES, he started his Ph.D. with Dr. Sunil Bisnath at York University in Toronto, Canada. During his Ph.D., Nacer focused on multi-constellation, multi-frequency ambiguity resolution to achieve instantaneous centimeter-level positioning with the Precise Point Positioning technique. Nacer’s work at JPL is a continuation of his work at York University, with a focus on multi-GNSS, multi-frequency processing for precise point positioning.
