Boris S. Pervan

Dr. Boris S. Pervan is Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Illinois Institute of Technology's Armour College of Engineering, where he holds the Frank Gunsaulus Faculty Fellow position and directs the CARNATIONS research center.

Education:

• Ph.D. in Aeronautics and Astronautics from Stanford University (1996)
• M.S. in Aeronautics from California Institute of Technology (1987)
• B.S. in Aerospace Engineering from University of Notre Dame (1986)

His research develops assured navigation technologies for transportation systems, focusing on GNSS integrity monitoring, spoofing/jamming resistance, and multi-sensor fusion for autonomous vehicles. Current projects address resilient positioning for driverless cars and aircraft through USDOT-funded initiatives.

Publications demonstrate leadership in navigation security, with recent advances in INS monitoring against spoofing, lidar integrity verification, and interference-resistant signal processing. Research consistently bridges theoretical innovation with real-world validation in urban environments.

Awards highlight exceptional contributions:

• Johannes Kepler Award (2022)
• AIAA Associate Fellow
• ION Fellow
• Multiple best paper awards from IEEE and ION
• Guggenheim Fellowship

He leads the $10M CARNATIONS UTC developing anti-spoofing technologies for transportation infrastructure. Professional memberships include IEEE, AIAA, and Institute of Navigation where he influences technical standards.
