Andrés
Calabia Aibar

Andres Calabia is a recognized academic and accomplished professional, skilled in topics of space geodesy, navigation, and remote sensing, and with a broad range of analytic techniques, including data analysis and algorithm development. His research interests focus on monitoring Earth's environments through space geodesy and remote sensing, the repercussions of these environments on human activity, and the utilization of geodetic techniques to interpret the planetary variability, and to test, validate, and develop geophysical models. In his early career, he has worked as a Geomatics Engineer in Spain and the UK. Then, he completed his Ph.D. at Shanghai Astronomical Observatory, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China, and a postdoctoral position at the University of Colorado Boulder, USA. In 2018, Dr. Calabia held an associate professor at Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, China, and since 2023 he is at University of Alcala de Henares, Spain. Dr. Calabia has made significant contributions with a number of original results. He has been committed to investigating upper-atmosphere variations from satellite measurements and obtained a number of important innovative achievements in the field of Space Geodesy and Solar-Terrestrial sciences. For example, Dr. Calabia discovered that high-resolution thermospheric variations due to solar-wind and magnetospheric forcing could be retrieved from GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) precise orbit products. Moreover, Dr. Calabia has established important international collaboration links between Spain and China, helping to expand scholarly ties and promoting academic cooperation between universities. In addition to his great commitment to research and teaching, he has been extremely active in the international community, chairing the Join Study Group 1 “Coupling processes between magnetosphere, thermosphere, and ionosphere” of the International Association of Geodesy Global Geodetic Observing System Focus Area Geodetic Space Weather Research, served as Guest/Associate Editor and per-reviver for several international journals, membership of international associations, and Session-Chair/Exhibitor-Booth in several international conferences.
