We are happy to welcome Dr. Shoujun Jia as postdoctoral researcher in the TUM Professorship of Remote Sensing Applications.

Previously, Shoujun was a postdoc at the University of Innsbruck, where he studied natural environmental dynamics using 3D point cloud data. He received his Ph.D. degree in surveying and geoinformatics from Tongji University, Shanghai, in 2023. During his doctoral research, he explored multimodal point cloud generation, fusion, and processing, and developed the high-dimensional point cloud feature tensor (HDFT) to represent spatiotemporal features in a high-dimensional tensor space. The HDFT has been successfully applied to the understanding of large-scale complex urban environments and was featured by Advances in Engineering. 

Shoujun became a postdoctoral researcher under the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation Research Fellowship in November 2025, with research focusing on extending the geometric theory of four-dimensional (space-time) Riemannian manifolds and its applications to understanding Earth's surface dynamics. He brings extensive expertise in 3D data processing and complex environments understanding, which will strengthen our team's work on spatiotemporal modelling and Earth surface dynamics. We are excited to have him on board and look forward to the insights and perspectives he will bring to our ongoing research. 

Welcome, Shoujun!
