Kalman Filtering Application to GPS, INS, and Navigation

"The Guy Who Wrote the Books"

Mohinder S. Grewal, PhD, PE, has over 35 years experience in systems identification, guidance, navigation, and control. Dr. Grewal is well known for his innovative application of Kalman filtering techniques to real world modeling problems.   In 2009, he received the Distinguished Engineering Educator Award, Orange County Engineering Council and the Outstanding Professor Award 2009-2010 from California State University Fullerton.  GPS World magazine selected him as one of “50+ Leaders to Watch” in its May 2007 issue. 
 
Grewal co-authored Kalman Filtering Theory & Practice Using MATLAB, THIRD EDITION, Wiley & Sons, 2008. Navtech describes the book as having "excellent treatment of practical considerations involved in implementing a Kalman filter, especially with respect to numerical stability problems." The book has been widely cited by other authors and researchers.

Dr. Grewal also co-authored  Global Positioning Systems, Inertial Navigation & Integration SECOND EDITION, Wiley & Sons, 2007. Grewal has published over 50 papers in IEEE and ION refereed journals and proceedings, including the Institute of Navigation 's (ION) most recent "Redbook," (Volume VI),  and numerous technical reports.  He holds two patents in GUS clock steering and L1/L5 differential bias estimation.  See the manuscript (accepted for publication, with co-author Jim Kain) for information on a new mechanization.   Dr. Grewal serves as a reviewer for IEEE, IEE, and other national and international publishers.  
 
Dr. Grewal's associations include Raytheon Systems, Boeing Company, Lockheed-Martin, University of California, Riverside , staff of the U. S. Department of the Interior, Boeing and Northrop. He is Professor of Electrical Engineering at California State University, Fullerton, Senior Member of IEEE, Fellow of the Institute for the Advancement of Engineering, and member of the Institute of Navigation. 

The instructor is thoroughly grounded in the practical real life application of the Kalman filter.
