Researchers

PhD Witold Rohm is an Assistant Professor at the Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences. Witold Rohm holds a Bachelor degree in Geography from Wroclaw Unviersity, a Master Degree in Geodesy and a PhD in satellite geodesy from WUELS. He spent 2 years (10.2011 – 01.2014) as a Visiting Researcher and a Research Fellow within the SPACE Research Centre working closely with staff and higher degree by research students on GNSS tomography for near-real-time weather and severe weather modelling and prediction research.

His work at WUELS led to the successful design and development of a near-real-time GNSS tomography model for the Poland region. Dr Rohm is currently a co-chair of International Association of Geodesy Working Group IAG-WG4.3.2 “Inter-comparison and cross validation of tomography models” advancing research in GNSS tomography.

PhD Jan Kaplon is an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Geodesy and Geoinformatics, Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences, Poland since 2009. He received a PhD in Geodesy and Cartography in 2008 from Faculty of Environmental and Life Sciences of Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences. His research interests are focused now on satellite methods for determination of positions in real-time as well as on the retrieval of real-time state of troposphere using GNSS methods.

Prof. Krzysztof Sośnica graduated from the University of Bern, Switzerland in 2014 obtaining the degree PhD of Science in Physics (Dr. phil. nat.). His PhD thesis, written at the Astronomical Institute of the University of Bern (AIUB), was devoted to the determination of precise satellite orbits and geodetic parameters using Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR). His activities at AIUB and at the Center for Orbit Determination in Europe (CODE) included the combination of SLR and GNSS data at the observation level, as well as the enhancement of the consistency between GNSS and SLR solutions. His research is also focused on the impact of atmospheric effects on SLR and GNSS stations, in particular the impact of the atmospheric pressure loading, as well as the Blue-Sky effect, which is a measure of the inconsistency between microwave and laser techniques in space geodesy due to the weather-dependency of laser observations. Finally, his expertise concerns the orbit dynamics and the analysis of systematic effects in GNSS and SLR measurements.

PhD Tomasz Hadas graduated from Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences, received a PhD in Geodesy and Cartography in 2015.
