Mohammad Bagherbandi

Mohammad Bagherbandi is a Professor at the University of Gävle, specializing in Geomatics and Applied Geodesy within the Department of Computer Science and the Built Environment. He has been affiliated with the university since 2012 and maintains a concurrent role as a Senior Researcher (Associate Professor) at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, where he worked as a postdoctoral researcher for two years post-PhD (2011) in Physical Geodesy and Earth's Interior Modeling.

• Research Areas: Precision positioning, Earth observation, infrastructure monitoring, gravity field modeling, environmental monitoring (climate change, ice melt, sea-level changes)
• Key Methods: Geodetic, remote sensing, GNSS/IMU integration, GNSS reflectometry, InSAR

His recent work emphasizes interdisciplinary links between geodesy and geophysics, particularly in quantifying land uplift from glacial isostatic adjustment (via GRACE/GRACE-FO), deformation monitoring in urban/railway systems, and integrating geodetic data with wireless sensors. Projects include:

• Roof network in the air (2019–2022) - Swedish Transport Administration
• Satellite monitoring of railways (2020–2021) - Traffic Agency
• Spatial Data Innovation (2018–2021) - Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth
• 3D mapping accuracy (2018–2020) - Lars E. Lundberg's Foundation
• Subsidence monitoring in urban regions (2019–2020) - SWECO/J. Gust. Richert Foundation

He contributes to GNSS signal applications for detecting sea-level variations and tidal frequencies, alongside theoretical advancements in geoid/quasigeoid modeling and relativistic geodesy. His research spans planetary height systems (e.g., Mars/Lunar geodesy) and geophysical stress modeling in regions like Fennoscandia and the Tibetan Plateau.
