Meet Associate Professor Milan Horemuz, Transport and Geoinformation Technology

Short biography

Milan Horemuz is coordinator for study program Geographic IT and co-coordinator for master program Transport and Geoinformation Technology. He has been working at KTH since 1996 as research associate, researcher and now as lecturer. He got his PhD degree in geodesy at Slovak Technical University in Bratislava, title of PhD thesis: Design of new reference system for Slovakia. He is responsible for bachelor courses Geodetic surveying and Introduction to GPS as well as for master courses Engineering surveying, Integrated navigation and Laser scanning technologies. His main research area is applied geodesy, particularly sensor orientation by supported inertial navigation system, deformation monitoring and integrated GNSS/total station surveying. Currently he is co-supervising two PhD students.

Current research

• Geodetic monitoring system of the Vasa ship (Vasa museum)
• Control network in the air (Trafikverket)
• GPS/IMU integrated system for land vehicle navigation (co-supervision of PhD student Yueming Zhao)
• Quality descriptors GPS precise point positioning (co-supervision of PhD student Masoud Shirazian)

Current teaching

Milan Horemuz is teaching in seven courses in the field of applied geodesy. Three of these courses are on bachelor level: the courses Geodetic Surveying and Introduction to GPS are given within the study program Geographic IT and the course Surveying and Mathematical Statistics is given for program “Byggteknik och design”. These courses focus on basic surveying methods and their applications in mapping and construction engineering. The advanced follow up courses Engineering Surveying, Laser Scanning Technologies, Integrated Navigation and Global Navigation Satellite Systems are given within master program. Milan Horemuz is also supervising the Bachelor and Master Thesis projects.
