Srinivas V. Bettadpur
Professor, University of Texas at Austin
I study all aspects of the Mechanical Earth from vantage point of satellite geodesy, for Earth system science applications. I wish to address the crisis in geodesy by invoking the excitement of spaceflight, and promoting the use of the latest technology and data-science paradigm in education. I am Professor of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics at The University of Texas at Austin since 2021, having served in various capacities at the UT Center for Space Research (CSR) before that.
