Paul Groves is a Professor specializing in robust positioning techniques for challenging environments, focusing on key enablers for engineering problems. His research interests lie in positioning technologies, global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), inertial sensors, and environmental feature matching. His work particularly explores novel positioning techniques and the development of reliable urban positioning by integrating complex sensor combinations in multiple contexts. He authored a comprehensive 800-page book titled 'Principles of GNSS, Inertial, Multisensor Integrated Systems' published by Artech House in 2008. With 12 years of experience at DERA and QinetiQ prior to joining University College London's Space Geodesy Laboratory (SGNL) in 2009, Groves is considered a pioneer in GNSS shadow-matching techniques and has significantly contributed to innovations in terrain-referenced, visual positioning utilizing Wi-Fi signals and radio broadcasts, heterogeneous feature-matching, and detection of GNSS non-line-of-sight reception and multipath interference. He is a Fellow of the Royal Institute (RIN), a member of the Institute of Navigation (ION), and a Chartered Physicist. Notably, he received the ION Thurlow Award in 2016 and the RIN Harold Spencer Jones Medal in 2024.
