Bachellor degree in Telecommunications Engineering, Natiopnal University of La pLata, Argentina. PhD in Electrical Engineering from the University of New South Wales, Australia,. Has worked since with NASA and Universities in Europe on gravity field modeling and precise positioning with GPS and similr GNSS systems, including precise LEO orbit determination. Also for the US Nay in new applications of GPS.
Gravity fields
Gravity field mapping from space; determination of orbits of artificial satellites; precise static and kinematic positioning using the Global Positioning System; precise aircraft navigation for geophysical surveys from the air; airborne gravimetry; measurement of small changes in the gravity field associated with global geophysical processes.
1967 - Ingeniero en Telecomunicacions, Universidad Nacional de la Plata (Argentina).
1977 - PhD (Electrical Engineering), New South Wales University (Sydney, Australia).
Thesis: On the control of discrete-time systems with constrained input and state variables.
Possible use of constellation of cubesats to monitor and issue warnings of tsunami in progress with GNSS reflectometry and analysis of ionospheric perturbations caused by upward travelling pressure waves generareted by tsunami.
As indicated in the title. Also looking for possible secondary use of cubesat constellation to monitor climate change through observation of the tropospheric water vapor content and the ionosphere using the same =data for detecting tsunami.
