Rüdiger Haas

Rüdiger Haas serves as a Full Professor for Space Geodesy at Chalmers University of Technology, where he leads the research group on Space Geodesy and Geodynamics at the Onsala Space Observatory. His extensive research portfolio encompasses space geodesy and global geophysical phenomena, including Earth rotation, global reference frames, atmospheric water vapor changes, and sea level measurements. As a distinguished leader in his field, he holds several prestigious positions, including membership on the directing board of the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS), chairmanship of the European VLBI Group for Geodesy and Astrometry (EVGA), and chair of the directing board of the International VLBI Service for Geodesy and Astrometry (IVS). He is the scientific leader of the Onsala twin telescope project and has made significant contributions to geodetic VLBI activities at the Onsala Space Observatory. His research has been widely recognized through numerous publications in prestigious journals, focusing on areas such as GNSS applications for sea level measurements, atmospheric refraction studies, and system stability investigations in short-baseline VLBI observations. Through his leadership and research contributions, Haas continues to advance our understanding of space geodesy and its applications in monitoring global geophysical phenomena.
