Beatrice Motella ha conseguito la Laurea in Ingegneria delle Telecomunicazioni nel 2003 presso il Politecnico di Torino. Nel 2007 ha completato il Dottorato di Ricerca in Ingegneria Elettronica e delle Telecomunicazioni presso la stessa università, lavorando nel gruppo di ricerca Navigation Signal Analysis and Simulation (NavSAS) . Durante il Dottorato, ha trascorso un periodo di dieci mesi presso la University of New South Wales (Sydney, Australia), collaborando con il Satellite Navigation & Positioning Laboratory (SNAPlab) della School of Surveying & Spatial Information Systems.

Attualmente, è ricercatrice presso l’Istituto Superiore Mario Boella, e lavora nell’unita’ di ricerca GNSS Platforms for Safety and Environment, all’interno dell’area Navigation Technologies.

La sua attività di ricerca copre differenti aspetti inerenti le tecnologie di navigazione satellitare (Global Navigation Satellite Systems, GNSS). In particolare si occupa del design di algoritmi, basati sul signal processing, volti a migliorare le performance dei ricevitori GNSS. In quest’ambito, il suo principale tema di ricerca riguarda il monitoraggio di sorgenti interferenti radio frequenza (Radio Frequency Interference, RFI) per ricevitori GNSS e componenti locali, volto ad applicazioni Safety-of-Life (SoL).

Beatrice Motella received the Master Degree in Communications Engineering in January 2003 at Politecnico di Torino. In December 2007, she completed the Ph.D. program in Electronics and Communications Engineering at the same university, working in the Navigation Signal Analysis and Simulation (NavSAS) group, under the tutoring of Prof. Letizia Lo Presti. During the Ph.D. program she spent almost one year as a visiting researcher at the Satellite Navigation & Positioning Laboratory (SNAPlab) of the School of Surveying & Spatial Information Systems, at the University of New South Wales, in Sydney, Australia.

She is currently a researcher at the Istituto Superiore Mario Boella, working in the GNSS Platforms for Safety and Environment unit, within the Navigation Technologies area.

Her research activities cover different aspects of the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) technologies, focusing on the design of algorithms, based on signal processing techniques, able to improve the GNSS receiver performance. Within this sphere, her main research topic is the Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) monitoring for GNSS receivers and local components, specifically designed for Safety-of-life (SoL) applications.
