Prof. Dr. Christoph Holst
Academic Career and Research Areas
Prof. Holsts (*1986) field of research is the area of engineering geodesy. His research focus lies in the developments of advanced methodologies for the geodetic monitoring of infrastructural, industrial and environmental objects, the automation of highly accurate static and mobile laser scanning as well as the quality analysis of geodetic sensors. He applies his research to a variety of interdisciplinary tasks in the context of digitizing the reality.
Prof. Holst studied at the University of Bonn Geodesy and Geoinformation with special focus on engineering geodesy and parameter estimation. Afterwards, he stayed at the University of Bonn as research assistant and lecturer. He completed his PhD in 2015 with distinction. Hereafter, he started to lead a research group dealing with terrestrial laser scanning and geometric surface analyses. In 2021, Prof. Holst was appointed as Full Professor to the Chair of Engineering Geodesy at TUM.
