David Schunck serves as a Research Fellow in Geodetic VLBI within the School of Natural Sciences at the University of Tasmania. His position is dedicated to advancing Very Long Baseline Interferometry for geodetic applications, particularly within the VLBI Global Observing System (VGOS) framework and its integration with satellite navigation systems.
Dr. Schunck's research centers on geodetic VLBI, satellite geodesy, and reference frame realization techniques. Key focus areas include GNSS signal observation using VGOS arrays, simulation of VLBI observations to navigation satellites (BeiDou/Galileo) for frame ties, and radio telescope deformation analysis. His work directly contributes to improving global geodetic infrastructure and Earth orientation parameter determination accuracy.
Analysis of Schunck's publication record (2017-2025) reveals consistent progression in VLBI technology for geodesy. Recent work (2024-2025) prioritizes VGOS operations, including GNSS signal observation and GENESIS mission integration. Earlier publications cover satellite simulation for frame ties and radio telescope metrology. While geodetic VLBI remains his core expertise, interdisciplinary collaborations appear in plant phenotyping (2021) and urban mobility analysis (2018).
Mr. Schunck operates within an international geodesy collaboration network involving institutions engaged in VGOS and GENESIS projects. His research leverages global geodetic observing systems and advances space geodesy through multi-institutional partnerships focused on infrastructure development and observational innovation.
