Volker Schwieger

Volker Schwieger is a leading expert in engineering geodesy. His research interests are the integration of geodetic measurement techniques into machine and UAV guidance and control, area-wise-monitoring and multi-sensor data acquisition and quality modelling. He will contribute to the development of permanent monitoring methods including stochastic models and co-optimisation of survey configurations, seamless positioning methods as well as process and quality modelling.
