Peter Vollmair

Peter Vollmair is a researcher at the Satellite Geodesy Research Facility within the Engineering Institute for Astronomical and Physical Geodesy at Technical University of Munich (TUM). His work focuses on integrating optical and microwave observation techniques for advanced satellite geodesy applications.

Research Interests:
Vollmair specializes in colocation methodologies for space-geodetic techniques, particularly the combination of laser and microwave observations. His research aims to minimize atmospheric interference in parameter estimation and enable precise calibration of ranging systems for missions like ACES (Atomic Clock Ensemble in Space). Key areas include tropospheric modeling, time synchronization, and optimization of multi-technique observation weighting.
