Yelyzaveta Pervysheva: Current Trends in Satellite Navigation
Satellite positioning is shaping how we navigate, move goods, and respond to emergencies. In my PhD, I explore solutions that make these signals more secure, efficient, and reliable—from detecting jamming and spoofing attacks, to mapping mobility patterns for greener transport, to enabling rescue operations in remote locations. Artificial intelligence acts as the key enabler, turning complex satellite data into actionable solutions. This talk presents the current trends and practical outcomes of satellite science as it impacts our daily lives today.

Yelyzaveta Pervysheva
Doctoral Researcher, Electrical Engineering
Yelyzaveta Pervysheva was born in Kharkiv, Ukraine. She received her B.Sc. in Geoinformation Systems from the National Aerospace University “Kharkiv Aviation Institute,” Ukraine, in 2021, and her M.Sc. in ICT for Internet and Multimedia from the University of Padova, Italy, in 2023. She is currently a doctoral researcher at Tampere University, Finland, focusing on enhancing GNSS receiver robustness against spoofing and jamming through machine learning. Her team won the Finnish qualifiers for the NASA Space Apps Challenge 2024. She was also selected to the student team representing Finland in the prestigious Global Young Scientists Summit (GYSS) in Singapore in January 2025. She has also participated with a high success rate in many other challenges and hackathons.
