Short Bio:
Dr. Jason Gross is an assistant professor Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at West Virginia University (WVU), and his research interests are in the area of advanced Guidance, Navigation and Controls (GNC) technologies as they apply to Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), small satellites, and ground robots.
Jason received his Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from WVU in 2011, where he conducted research on sensor fusion algorithms and flexible UAS avionics systems for fault-tolerant flight controls research while a member of the Flight Control Systems Lab. He is also a 2007 graduate of the department's dual Mechanical and Aerospace B.S. program, and was WVU's Student Body President from 2006-2007.
From August 2011 to December 2013, Jason was a Research Technologist in the Near Earth Tracking Applications Group at Caltech's NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). His work at JPL was in the area of GNSS data analysis and algorithm development. While at NASA JPL, Dr. Gross supported the modernization of NASA JPL's GPS processing software in support of NASA's Space Geodesy Project, was a member of JPL's Flinn GPS orbit analysis team for JPL's submission to the IGS, supported the DGPS subsystem of NASA's UAVSAR & AirMoss airborne radar instruments, and worked on development of multiple CubeSat mission concepts.
