Prof. Andreas Wieser is a Full Professor of Geosensorics and Engineering Geodesy at ETH Zürich's Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering, leading the Institute of Geodesy and Photogrammetry. His work focuses on advanced measurement systems for high-precision positioning, navigation, and geodetic monitoring of infrastructure and natural environments. Notable contributions include parameter estimation methods, quality control frameworks, and sensor optimization for applications like avalanche monitoring, railway deformation analysis, and CERN's Futur Circular Collider project.
