Leonid Petrov has over 30 years of experience in space geodesy, astrometry, and radioastronomy. He has been developing algorithms for all stages of analysis of very long baseline interferometry and their implementation in software and the operational pipeline. He has led a number of projects that resulted in the most complete catalogue of compact radio sources. He has been working on incorporation of the output of numerical weather models into analysis of space geodesy and astronomy observations.
VLBI Lead Scientist. Lead the efforts to improve VLBI results for geodesy, geophysics, and astronomy.
Study of the effect of liquid core to the Earth rotation by combined analysis of VLBI observations and the outputs of numerical weather models.
Study of the optimal accounting the turbulence of the atmosphere for analysis of space geodesy observations.
Lead observational programs that aims to improve positions of compact radio sources.

Leonid Petrov has over 30 years of experience in space geodesy, astrometry, and radioastronomy. He has been developing algorithms for all stages of analysis of very long baseline interferometry and their implementation in software and the operational pipeline. He has led a number of projects that resulted in the most complete catalogue of compact radio sources. He has been working on incorporation of the output of numerical weather models into analysis of space geodesy and astronomy observations.
