Posted: 

Jihye Park, PhD candidate in Geodetic Science, and graduate research assistant in the Satellite Positioning and Inertial Navigation (SPIN) Laboratory, received the 2011 ION Graduate Student Award.   In addition to the $2000 award, Jihye was invited to present her research at the ION Dayton Section luncheon on October 15, 2011.

The Institute of Navigation student award program was established to encourage and advance navigation education; to provide outreach and ION publicity to university faculty and students; to encourage the growth, development and involvement of graduate students in fields of study that support the advancement of the art and science of navigation; to identify future academic resources to the ION in terms of viable session and program chairs for ION meetings; and to foster relationships between academic institutions and local ION section membership.

Ms. Park obtained her B.A. and M.S degrees in Geoinformatics from The University of Seoul.  Her research interests cover Global Positioning System (GPS) algorithms; in particular, GPS remote sensing that includes troposphere and ionosphere modeling with GPS.  She is a member of International Association of Geodesy Working Group 4.5.2: Precise Point Positioning and Network-RTK, American Geophysical Union (AGU) and the Institute of Navigation (ION).

Jihye works under the academic supervision of Professor Dorota Brzezinska.  Her research was performed in collaboration with Professor Ralph vonFrese of the School of Earth Sciences and Professor Jade Morton of the Miami University.
