About me

Thomas Hobiger was Associate Professor for Space Geodesy at Chalmers University of Technology from 2014 to 2018. He is now with the University of Stuttgart, Germany. He received the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in geodesy and geophysics from the Vienna University of Technology, Vienna, Austria, in 2002 and 2005, respectively. He spent then 8 years at a Japanese research institute, then moved to Chalmers in 2014. There he played an active role in the development of the next-generation space-geodetic systems (in particular VLBI and GNSS) and processing tools for such techniques. His interests: VLBI, GNSS, Earth rotation, sea-level change and GNSS-R, software-defined radio, reference frames, high-performance computing, propagation of radio waves, and time and frequency transfer.
