Juraj Papčo

Juraj Papčo is a researcher at the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava, affiliated with both the Department of Global Geodesy and Geoinformatics at the Faculty of Civil Engineering and the Department of Theoretical Geodesy. His work spans multiple institutions through collaborations with the European Space Agency, German Aerospace Center, and various international universities.

Dr. Papčo's research focuses on advanced geodetic techniques, particularly satellite radar interferometry (InSAR) for monitoring ground deformations. His expertise encompasses Global Geodesy, Physical Geodesy, Satellite Navigation Systems, Gravimetry, and Geodynamics. He has made significant contributions to applying these methods for infrastructure monitoring, archaeological prospection, and environmental applications.

His publication record shows consistent productivity since the early 2000s, with notable recent work on deformation-induced topographic effects in gravity measurements (2019) and multi-temporal InSAR techniques for structural health monitoring (2014). His research demonstrates a strong trend toward practical applications of geodetic science in solving real-world problems across diverse domains.

Dr. Papčo has led multiple significant research projects including ESA Earth Observation Principal Investigator Project EOPI-9981 and DLR project LAN 1583. His international collaborations span Europe, Africa, and Asia, demonstrating the global relevance of his work in satellite-based deformation monitoring.

As an educator, he teaches Global Geodesy, Geodynamics, and GIS in Building Sciences, while supervising practical exercises in Remote Sensing, Gravimetry, and field techniques. His research group operates the InSAR.space platform, supporting advanced deformation monitoring applications using satellite radar technology.
