Dr. Chris Danezis holds a 5y Dipl. Ing. in Surveying Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), an M.Sc. in Geoinformatics from the same university, and a Ph.D. in Geomatic Engineering from the UCL department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering, focused on Satellite Geodesy and Navigation. He is an Associate Professor of Geodesy at the Cyprus University of Technology Department of Civil Engineering and Geomatics. He is the Director of the Laboratory of Geodesy and the Coordinator of the CyCLOPS (Cyprus Continuously Operating Natural Hazards Monitoring and Prevention Systems) strategic research infrastructure unit, the largest integrated research network of permanent GPS/GNSS stations and InSAR Corner Reflectors in Cyprus. He was previously employed as Geodetic Infrastructure Executive by the Hellenic National Cadastre and Mapping Agency SA (NCMA) in the department responsible for the operation of the Hellenic National Permanent GPS/GNSS Reference Station (CORS) network (HEPOS). Furthermore, he was appointed to the Strategic Management Board for the restructuring and modernization of the company. Furthermore, he has an extensive experience of more than a decade as a freelance consulting engineer specializing in positioning, geographic information systems (GIS), and location-based and awareness technologies. His scientific activity mainly focuses on Satellite Geodesy, Synthetic Aperture Radars (SAR), Ubiquitous and Collaborative Positioning and Navigation, GNSS augmentations, Marine Geodesy, GIS, and Location-Based Services. Since 2021, he has been the Representative of IAG Commission I (Reference Frames) in the Steering Committee of the Inter-commission Committee on Marine Geodesy (ICCM). Since 2012, he has been an active member of several IAG/FIG workgroups. Throughout the years, he has developed software for various applications. Amongst others, he is the developer of the official Hellenic coordinate transformation software (between the new ETRS89-based coordinate reference system and the National Grid) and the developer of the latest geometric geoid model for Greece, provided by NCMA SA. He has published work in important scientific journals, such as Sensors, Remote Sensing, Advances in Space Research, Natural Hazards, Transportation Research Record, Journal of Applied Geodesy, and conferences (ION GNSS, ION Pacific, IEEE IPIN, and others). He is also a reviewer and member of Reviewer Boards in several scientific journals and conference proceedings (FIG conferences and workshops, IEEE, etc.) Laboratory of Geodesy: https://geodesy.cy CyCLOPS Research Infrastructure Unit: https://cyclops.cy
