Tara Mina
I am a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Stanford University. I research strategies to advance the next-generation Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation capabilities.
My research focuses on developing secure, attack-resilient position, navigation, and timing as well as designing new spreading codes for the future GPS signals. Beyond terrestrial applications, I am also interested in satellite-based navigation and timing to enable future lunar exploration missions.
