Brief Biography:
Chris Rizos is a graduate of the School
of Surveying, The University of
New South Wales (UNSW), Sydney, Australia; obtaining a Bachelor of
Surveying in 1975, and a Doctor of Philosophy in 1980 in Satellite Geodesy.
Chris joined the academic staff of the School of Surveying in 1987, and
was promoted to Professor in 2001. Chris is currently the Head of the School of Surveying & Spatial Information Systems, UNSW. Chris has been researching the technology
and high precision applications of GPS since 1985, and has published
over 350 journal and conference papers. Chris established the
Satellite Navigation and Positioning
Lab at UNSW in the early 1990s - Australia's premier academic R&D group for GNSS and wireless positioning technology and applications. He is a Fellow of the Australian
Institute of Navigation, a Fellow of the International
Association of Geodesy (IAG), and is currently Vice President of the IAG. He is also Science Manager of Program 1 "Integrated
Positioning & Mapping Systems" of the Cooperative
Research Centre for Spatial Information.
Interests:
Reading, cooking, travelling and networking with friends and colleagues
around the world.
Carrier phase-based kinematic GPS positioning over
short, medium and long baselines: Research projects include combined
GPS+Glonass data processing, single-epoch ambiguity-resolution over
short ranges, multi-reference system techniques, special techniques
for long-range positioning applications.
Development of GPS-based deformation monitoring systems:
Current research is focussed on the development and testing of low-cost
GPS systems for survey applications. Investigations are underway into
the feasibility of using GPS for building monitoring.
Development and testing of multi-reference receiver
GPS positioning techniques: Such techniques can improve the performance
of both static and kinematic positioning. As partners in the Singaporean
multi-reference receiver facility and the SydNet
CORS network, investigations will be made in a realistic "open
air laboratory". Real-time techniques will be the focus.
Innovative geodetic techniques: In this category
can be mentioned research into the most effective integration of low-cost,
single-frequency GPS receivers with permanent, continuously-operated
GPS networks (CGPS), as well as the integration of CGPS with Interferometric
SAR techniques, guidelines on the development of multi-functional GPS
networks .
New navigation technology investigations: New initiatives
are to be taken in the area of indoor positioning,
pseudolites, GSM-based positioning, GPS receiver chip-level optimisation,
GPS+INS integration (and other similar sensors) strategies, GPS+GIS
applications.
