Biography

Haval Sadeq received his BSc degree in Civil Engineering at Salahaddin University-Erbil, in 1996, his MSc degree in photogrammetry at Salahaddin University-Erbil, Iraq, in 2000, and his PhD degree in Geomatics at Glasgow University, United Kingdom, in 2015. His research interests are in photogrammetry, stereo vision algorithms implementing the Bayesian approach, and footprint extraction and 3D modeling from very high-resolution satellite imagery. Currently, he is teaching map projections and photogrammetry, undergraduate research projects, and postgraduate supervision (MSc and PhD). Furthermore, he was involved in preparing the lecture for the Erasmus+ program, which was funded by the European Union.
