معرفی
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Christoph Holst is a Full Professor of Engineering Geodesy at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), leading the Chair of Engineering Geodesy since 2021. His academic journey includes a PhD from the University of Bonn (2015) and prior roles as research associate, lecturer, and group leader there. He specializes in geodetic monitoring using terrestrial laser scanning (TLS), focusing on infrastructure, industrial, and environmental applications. His research emphasizes high-precision static/mobile TLS automation, sensor calibration, and deformation analysis.
Education:
- Bachelor and Master in Geodesy & Geoinformation, University of Bonn (Focus: Engineering Geodesy & Parameter Estimation)
- PhD in Geodesy, University of Bonn (2015, summa cum laude)
Research Interests:
His work bridges engineering and environmental geodesy, with key areas:
- Advanced TLS Methods: Calibration, registration, and error modeling for deformation analysis.
- Interdisciplinary Applications: Monitoring radio telescopes, landslides, and agricultural systems.
- Digitalization & Automation: AI integration, 3D point cloud processing, and real-time monitoring systems.
His team develops innovative tools like the Simulation Tool for Point Accuracy, enhancing TLS reliability in complex environments.
Publications & Awards:
Over 100 peer-reviewed articles in journals like Remote Sensing and ISPRS Journal. Notable awards include the GKGM Prize (2019) for TLS calibration and the Teaching Award (2019) from the University of Bonn. His work has been recognized by the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and IEEE societies.
Grants & Leadership:
He leads TUM's Leonhard Obermeyer Center for Digital Methods and chairs the DVW Working Group on Mobile Sensor Systems. Active in national/international committees (DGK, IEEE, PhenoRob cluster).
Labs & Teams:
Runs the Geodetic Testing Laboratory with calibration fields and monitoring setups. Collaborates on projects like AImon5.0 for landslide AI monitoring and TUM2TWIN urban digital twin benchmarking.
