About Me

I am a geodetic surveyor, I worked in commercial companies during and after my studies. In 2011, I joined the IRSM and initially dealt mainly with the processing of phase measurements from a network of permanent GNSS stations. I received my doctorate in 2020, during which he tested the MEMS accelerometric sensor for the canadian company Measurand. I thus gained a certain overlap in the problematic of geotechnical equipment used for high accurate measurement of inclinations. I used the experience in current cooperation with STATOTEST company, with which I am currently cooperating on the development of a new autonomous inclinometer. My main interests include monitoring displacements and deformations and its automation time series processing and processing measurements in general. I am currently working on automating the evaluation and processing of data from the unique dilatometer TM-71 developed at IRSM. Moreover I innitiate cooperation with the Czech Technical University in Prague on the development and testing of "low cost" phase GNSS receivers designed for autonomous monitoring of slope instabilities.
