I am truly fascinated by changing shape of the Earth.

Currently, I am working as a Geodetic Engineer at Survey Department, building terresrial reference frame & vertical reference frame. Interested in solving challanges & problems of climate change and natural hazards by especially mastering the field of Geodesy and Geophysics.
