Brian Weaver, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor (Senior Research) of Geomatics in the school of Civil and Construction Engineering at ¾«¶«Ó°ÊÓ State University. He received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in Civil Engineering with an emphasis in Geomatics at ¾«¶«Ó°ÊÓ State University, and Ph.D. degree in Civil Engineering with an emphasis on GNSS-based geodesy at the University of Nottingham. His research expertise includes development of satellite radar altimetry and GNSS data processing algorithms for high-accuracy applications and alignment of geodetic data to the national reference frame. Dr. Weaver has developed new techniques to enhance GNSS position accuracy and altimetry- based sea level estimation in challenging environments. His research outcomes have contributed toward new features in NOAA tools (i.e., OPUS and VDatum) that are used to align a variety of data sets to the national reference frame. He also gained experience working as a Civil Engineering and Surveying intern in both the public and private sectors, with projects focused on structural analysis/design, water/wastewater systems, roadway design, and paving. During his time at ¾«¶«Ó°ÊÓ State University, and while employed as a Quality Assurance Technician at Trimble Geomatics, Dr. Weaver conducted surveys using a variety of instruments and technologies: analogue/digital levels, total stations, GNSS receivers, UAS, and lidar.
