Førsteamanuensis

  • Institutt for geomatikk

My research focuses on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), such as GPS, and on parameter estimation and quality control. This includes methods, algorithms and software for applications in geomatics.

 I currently teach courses in satellite geodesy, parameter estimation and applied geomatics.
