Zaher M. Kassas

Zaher M. Kassas works on positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT), developing methods for determining location and precise timing using signals that were not originally designed for navigation, such as 5G, digital TV, and low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite broadcasts like Starlink and OneWeb. This work aims to provide backup or alternative navigation solutions to GPS, especially in environments where GPS signals are weak, jammed, or unavailable, including urban areas, high-altitude platforms, and polar regions. His research combines signal processing, satellite tracking, and sensor fusion (e.g., combining satellite signals with inertial measurement units) to achieve robust navigation for applications like unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

Publication output grew substantially from 2017 to around 2021 and has remained steady at a high level (roughly 24-30 papers per year) through 2025.
