Prof. Dr.-Ing. Rüdiger Lehmann

Professor of Surveying Engineering

My main scientific interests are directed towards developing new estimation techniques for ever more complex geodetic observation models, to enhance the retrieval of valuable information from the measurements in terms of accuracy, reliability, and computational efficiency. Such novel techniques include outlier detection, robust estimation, advanced methods of hypothesis testing and model selection in geodetic adjustment models as well as Monte Carlo techniques for geodetic data analysis.

I was appointed to the editorial board of the Journal of Surveying Engineering.
