Mohammad Bagherbandi

I received B.Sc. in Land Surveying Engineering (2000), the M.Sc. degree in Geodesy from K.N.Toosi University, Tehran, Iran in 2002,  Ph.D. degree from the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Stockholm, Sweden, in 2011. I promoted to Docent in Geodesy (2013). I am working as a Senior Researcher at KTH and Professor at the University of Gävle.

I am a member of the editorial board in Journal of Geodetic Science since 2013 and Journal of Geodesy and Geomatics Engineering since 2014.
