In our portrait series titled “Meet the Expert,” we are thrilled to present Jürgen Müller. Jürgen Müller is full Professor in Physical Geodesy at the Leibniz Universität Hannover, Germany. His research fields cover space and terrestrial gravimetry, including novel measurement concepts, related earth system research, lunar laser ranging and general relativity.
In the context of CARIOQA, his group investigates the impact/contribution of CAI sensors for gravity field recovery. For CARIOQA-PMP, software is being developed to analyze the interaction between quantum gravimeter/accelerometer performance, science products, and system changes, taking into account realistic environmental conditions. For the post-pathfinder mission, simulations of selected mission scenarios are conducted to determine the optimal use of CAI sensors in space for gravity field recovery under realistic future conditions.
