The 1st International Online Conference on Geomatics

Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Lund University, Lund, Sweden;Ali Mansourian is Professor of Geomatics at Lund University, Sweden, and Director of the Lund University GIS Centre. His research focuses on GeoAI, spatial intelligence, autonomous GIS, spatial decision support, and Spatial Data Infrastructures, with applications in areas such as urban planning, environmental management, disaster risk reduction, and health. He leads and coordinates major international research, education, and capacity-building initiatives and has extensive experience in European and international projects. He has served in several international scientific networks, such as AGILE and ISDE. His current research explores Geo-LLMs, agentic AI, and the future of Autonomous GIS.

Institute of Geodesy, Leibniz University Hannover, Hannover, Germany;Talk: Modern Concepts and Quantum Technology for Geodesy. Jürgen Müller has been Full Professor of Physical Geodesy at Leibniz Universität Hannover, Germany, since 2001. He studied Geodesy at the Technical University of Munich, where he also completed his doctoral degree with distinction in 1991. His primary research interests include satellite gravity field missions, terrestrial gravimetry—including innovative measurement concepts—Earth system science, lunar laser ranging, and tests of general relativity. His recent research focuses on the potential benefits of quantum technologies in geodesy, such as quantum accelerometers/gravimeters, as well as optical clock networks for novel height systems and monitoring mass variations. Within the International Association of Geodesy (IAG), he chairs the project "Novel Sensors and Quantum Technology for Geodesy" (QuGe).

Department of Infrastructure Engineering, The University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia;Kourosh Khoshelham is Professor in Spatial Information at the Department of Infrastructure Engineering. He received his PhD in Geoinformatics from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University in 2004, and held Assistant Professor positions at Delft University of Technology and University of Twente before joining the University of Melbourne in 2015. His main areas of research are photogrammetry, lidar remote sensing, and computer vision applications to 3D modelling of natural and built environments. Kourosh serves as Associate Director for the Centre for Disaster Management and Public Safety, and is a member of Standards Australia Committee IT-004 Geographical Information/Geomatics. He is on the editorial board of several international journals and collaborates with the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS) as Co-Chair for Working Group II/I-b on Digital Construction.
