About
Matej Varga is a Scientific Assistant and Postdoctoral Researcher at ETH Zurich's Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering, working in the Geosensors and Engineering Geodesy group under Prof. Andreas Wieser since 2021. His research spans geometrical geodesy, physical geodesy, and satellite geodesy, with applications in both theoretical and practical domains.
Dr. Varga's research interests focus on spatial, temporal and spectral analysis of geodetic data, with particular expertise in geodetic reference systems and frames, gravity and geomagnetic field modeling at all temporal and spatial scales, and multi-GNSS multi-frequency positioning and monitoring. His work integrates geometrical and physical aspects of geodesy to address complex Earth observation challenges, particularly in infrastructure monitoring and geophysical applications.
His recent publications demonstrate a strong trend toward high-precision geodetic applications for major scientific infrastructure, most notably the Future Circular Collider project, alongside important contributions to earthquake impact analysis, geomagnetic network development, and gravity field modeling. His research bridges traditional geodetic methods with modern computational approaches, including machine learning applications for point cloud registration.
Dr. Varga is actively involved in the GSEG research group at ETH Zurich, contributing to the development of geodetic infrastructure and reference systems. His work has practical applications in infrastructure monitoring, earthquake analysis, and scientific projects requiring extreme geodetic precision.
