Rate My Professor Robert Odolinski

Odolinski's research specializes in Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), emphasizing precise multi-GNSS positioning, low-cost receivers, integer ambiguity resolution for real-time kinematic (RTK) applications, and positioning performance with smartwatches and smartphones in New Zealand. Key publications comprise Mi et al., 'Fast and precise GNSS RTK positioning with ionosphere-constrained weighted least squares quadratic programming' (Journal of Geodesy, 2026); Thu et al., 'First smartwatch RTK results: performance analysis of instantaneous, single-frequency multi-GNSS cm-level positioning with comparison to Google Pixel 5 smartphones' (GPS Solutions, 2026); Odolinski et al., 'Evaluation of the multi-GNSS, dual-frequency RTK positioning performance for recent Android smartphone models in a phone-to-phone setup' (Proceedings of the ION ITM, 2024); Gao et al., 'Improving GNSS PPP-RTK through global forecast system zenith wet delay augmentation' (GPS Solutions, 2024); and Still et al., 'Observing glacier dynamics with low-cost, multi-GNSS positioning in Victoria Land, Antarctica' (Journal of Glaciology, 2024). He has received the Institute of Navigation Per Enge Early Achievement Award (2020), University of Otago Early Career Award for Distinction in Research (2018), New Zealand Spatial Excellence Award for Education and Professional Development (2018), and OUSA Teaching Awards for the Division of Sciences (2018). Odolinski is Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Spatial Science (2023–present) and serves on editorial boards including Journal of Geodesy (2023–present), Sensors (2021–present), and GPS Solutions (2019–present). His professional engagements include International Association of Geodesy (IAG) roles in multi-GNSS study groups and working groups on low-cost GNSS, membership in New Zealand's National Positioning Infrastructure Coordination Committee, conference session chairing, and holding patent WO/2017/070732.
