Andreas Wieser

Andreas Wieser is engaged in the development of innovative measurement systems and analysis methods for highly accurate positioning, navigation, and continuous geodetic monitoring of buildings and natural objects. He is particularly interested in parameter estimation, rigorous quality control and simulation based optimization of measurement processes.

Andreas Wieser has been Professor of Geosensorics and Engineering Geodesy at the Institute of Geodesy and Photogrammetry, in the Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatics Engineering, since 2012.

He was born in Lienz, Austria in 1969.

In 1995, Andreas Wieser graduated in Surveying from the Vienna University of Technology. He was then a doctoral student at TU Graz and obtained a PhD there in 2001 with a thesis on “Robust and fuzzy techniques for parameter estimation and quality assessment in GPS”.

From 2003 to 2004 he worked as a postdoc at the University of Calgary, Canada. Then he was a teaching and research assistant at the Institute of Engineering Geodesy and Measurement Systems of TU Graz, Austria, where his habilitation thesis on “GPS based velocity estimation and its application to an odometer” was accepted in 2007.

After a brief period as Product Manager Electronic Tolling with Efkon AG, Graz, he became Professor in Engineering Geodesy at the Vienna University of Technology in 2009.
