I hold a Bachelor of Science degree (Eng.) in Surveying, and a
Master of Science degree (Eng.) in Geodesy from K.N. Toosi University of
Technology in Tehran, and a Doctor of Philosophy degree (Eng.) from Royal
Institute of Technology in Stockholm. My primary research interest is Physical
Geodesy and I was chief investigator of national geoid determination group in
Iran. My other research interests include satellite geodesy, GPS and
mathematical geodesy. I have been lecturing in the Surveying and Geodesy fields
since 1989. Over 140 publications and presentations are the results of my
reseraches in these fields since 1989. My career includes being a member of
staff at Isfahan University (as Senior Lecturer and Head of Department of
Surveying Engineering) and Tehran University (as Head of Division of Geodesy
and Assistant Professor), Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm (as
Researcher and Research Associate) and Norwegian University of Science and
Technology (NTNU) (as Associate Professor ). I have been working for Iranian
National Mapping Authority (NCC) in several functions since 1994. Among them
were: Head of Department of Research and Development and Dean of College of
Surveying. I also was editor-in-chief of the Iranian Surveying Journal. I was
promoted to Full Professor of Geodesy at the NTNU based on the
qualifications and competence in September 15, 2004.
