Biography

Jens Wickert is a professor specializing in GNSS remote sensing and positioning at the Technical University of Berlin. His research has focused on various applications of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) across different societal domains, especially in geosciences and environmental monitoring. He has significantly contributed to the development and improvement of GNSS data analysis software tailored for earth observation applications, particularly in atmospheric probing and the remote sensing of water, ice, and land surfaces. His work also involves operational processing of satellite and ground-based GNSS atmospheric data for meteorological services and real-time applications, enhancing early warning systems and atmospheric probing. Wickert has initiated new satellite missions equipped with GNSS components aimed at precise orbit determination, atmospheric probing, and reflectometry. One of the highlights of his scientific activities includes a novel satellite mission for climate research focusing on polar regions, proposed under ESA's Earth Explorer 9 initiative in collaboration with a large international team of scientists and engineers.
