2021

We are happy to announce that Mudathir Awadaljeed joined the Space Geodesy group as a scientific assistant in October 2021.

This year's AGU Fall Meeting was held in a hybrid form (online and onsite) during December 13^th-17^th. The Space Geodesy group was present virtually with two members, Mostafa Kiani Shahvandi and Benedikt Soja.

On Wednesday, November 10^th, this year's Day of Geomatics (Tag der Geomatik) was hosted by Leica Geosystems in Heerbrugg (https://www.tagdergeomatik.ch/). During this event, schools had the chance to visit exhibitions and attend modules to learn about geodesy and geomatics.

For his outstanding work on Very Long Baseline Interferometry scheduling, the "Dissertationspreis der Stadt Wien" (dissertation award from the city of Vienna) was awarded to Matthias Schartner for his Ph.D. thesis "Optimizing geodetic VLBI scheduling with VieSched++" (https://repositum.tuwien.at/handle/20.500.12708/1466).

Laura Crocetti and Mostafa Kiani Shahvandi presented their research at the Meet & Share Your Research Day event. It is an annual event organized by the Association of Scientific Staff at D-BAUG (ASB) and D-BAUG that fosters exchange and collaboration within the department.
