About
Sriramya Bhamidipati is a pioneering researcher in resilient positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) systems, with a focus on autonomous vehicle safety and extraterrestrial navigation. Her work addresses critical challenges in GNSS-denied environments, particularly for autonomous vehicles operating in urban canyons where multipath effects can corrupt satellite signals. In her highly cited 2018 paper (14 citations), she introduced a novel Graph-SLAM framework for multiple GPS fault detection and isolation, enabling robust navigation even when multiple satellite channels fail simultaneously—a growing concern with expanding GNSS constellations. More recently, Bhamidipati has extended her expertise to space exploration, authoring a 2024 study (5 citations) on ground-assisted PNT for Moon and Mars missions. This work supports NASA’s Lunar Communication Relay and Navigation System, providing the foundational infrastructure for accurate, autonomous navigation of orbiting and surface users in deep space. Her contributions bridge terrestrial and planetary navigation, demonstrating how fault-tolerant algorithms can ensure safety in both autonomous driving and future lunar/Martian exploration. Bhamidipati’s research is instrumental in advancing PNT reliability across domains.
