Among his many achievements, last year Todd led a team that used a single sensor aboard the international space station to detect and locate a terrestrial source of GPS disruption.

The award is coordinated by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy along with a number of federal departments and agencies.

Humphreys is an associate professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics.
