Hossein Nahavandchi
Professor of Geodesy PhD. Eng. |
Biography
- I
hold a Bachelor of Science degree (Eng.) in Surveying, and a Master of
Science degree (Eng.) in Geodesy from K.N. Toosi
University of Technology in Tehran, and a Doctor of Philosophy degree
(Eng.) from Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. My primary
research interest is Physical Geodesy and I was chief investigator of
national geoid determination group in Iran. My other research interests
include satellite geodesy, GPS and mathematical geodesy. I have been
lecturing in the Surveying and Geodesy fields since 1989. Over 140
publications and presentations are the results of my reseraches
in these fields since 1989. My career includes being a member of staff at
Isfahan University (as Senior Lecturer and Head of Department of Surveying
Engineering) and Tehran University (as Head of Division of Geodesy and
Assistant Professor), Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm (as
Researcher and Research Associate) and Norwegian University of Science and
Technology (NTNU) (as Associate Professor ). I
have been working for Iranian National Mapping Authority (NCC) in several
functions since 1994. Among them were: Head of Department of Research and
Development and Dean of College of Surveying. I was also editor-in-chief
of the Iranian Surveying Journal. I was promoted to Full Professor of
Geodesy at the NTNU based on the qualifications and competence in
September 15, 2004.
