Lukas Raffl

Lukas Raffl is a Researcher at the Chair of Engineering Geodesy, Technical University of Munich, specializing in Alpine natural hazard monitoring and laser scanning since 2018. He holds an M.Sc. in Geodesy and Geoinformation from TUM (2017) with a focus on Engineering Geodesy & GIS, following his B.Sc. in the same field (2015). His research spans geo-monitoring, deformation measurement, and scanning total stations, particularly for rockfall and landslide prevention.
