Research Interests
Professor Gerard Lachapelle conducts research within the Position, Location And Navigation (PLAN) Group. His research focuses on outdoor and indoor navigation and wireless location using GNSS, related signal processing advances, ground-based RF techniques, integrated GNSS-inertial systems and indoor GNSS. He has been involved with the development and testing of advanced GPS-based methods and algorithms since 1980. During the past 12 years, he has also contributed to the development of mobile telephone location techniques and indoor location. Numerous software and patents developed with his colleagues since joining the University of Calgary in 1988 have been successfully transferred to industry. He has received scores of awards for his contributions. He has also made numerous contributions to geodesy and hydrography earlier on in his career. He leads a team of 20 post-doctoral fellows and graduate students with backgrounds ranging from electrical to software, aeronautics, geomatics and other areas of engineering.

John Nielsen
Dr. John Nielsen joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of Calgary in November 2002 as an Associate Professor. He is also an affiliated researcher with Telecommunications Research Laboratory of Calgary. His primary research interests are in physical layer communication systems. Since joining the faculty, Dr. Nielsen has built up a research team consisting of graduate students involved in wireless physical layer research. Two main areas of research are Ultra-Wideband technology that is applicable for high rate data communications and short-range imaging radar. The other area is mobile positioning based on TOA/AOA using CDMA and GPS signals. This is the main area of collaboration with the PLAN Group. He lectures in digital communications, statistical signal processing and numerical computational methods. Prior to joining the University of Calgary, Dr. Nielsen was with Research in Motion and Nortel where he was a technical systems lead of the CDMA and iDEN PDA wireless product development.
