Professor Dr Peter Teunissen

Project : Theoretical and model strengthening of future Global Navigation Satellite System to yield improved geospatial information for tomorrow's society.

Current institution : Delft University of Technology ( Netherlands ).

Host institution : Curtin University of Technology.

Primary research field : Geomatic engineering.

Professor Teunissen is Chair of Mathematical Geodesy and Positioning and Head of the Department of Earth Observation and Space Systems at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands . He is a world authority on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) positions and navigation and the inventor of the Least-squares AMBiguity Decorrelation Adjustment (LAMBDA) method for GNSS carrier phase ambiguity resolution.

Professor Teunissen intends to address important and pressing theoretical and modelling issues for future GNSS applications to deliver high-precision, high-integrity positioning and navigation solutions. The refinements will feed into much-improved geospatial information for future technology.

Professor Teunissen obtained his PhD in geodesy at the Delft University of Technology. He was awarded the Constantijn en Christaan Huygens Fellowship by the Netherlands Organisation for the Advancement of Pure Research, and an ARC International Fellowship at Curtin University of Technology in 2007. Professor Teunissen was awarded an honorary Professorship from Wuhan University in China in 2000, the Alexander von Humboldt Research Award in 1996, and the International Association of Geodesy Guy Bomford Prize in 1987.

He is a member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences, a foreign Fellow of the Deutschen Geodätischen Kommission Akademie der Wissenschaften, and a Fellow of the International Association of Geodesy. Between 1995 and 2003, he was Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Geodesy .
