Research Interests:

My main research interests are in satellite surveying and physical geodesy, more especially in gravimetric geoid modelling and vertical datum establishment. 
This also includes, establishment of a modernised horizontal and vertical geodetic reference frames, gravity data adjustment and analysis, analysis of Geopotential models, Geospatial data processing and  modelling, Global Navigation Satellite System, Geophysics.
