Research & Field Projects

Major international projects in navigation, gravimetry, and positioning conducted by AlgoNav's founder across six continents

In the recent years, I have worked for and collaborated with various universities, institutions and companies worldwide. Following is an excerpt of the projects and cooperation partners:

  • 2011-2018 Chair of Physical and Satellite Geodesy, Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany
  • 2018-2019 Western Australian Geodesy Group, Department of Spatial Sciences, Curtin University, Perth, Western Australia
  • 2019-2023 iMAR Navigation GmbH, St. Ingbert, Germany
